Baradla is a living organism, both place (Prague) and person (a woman). With shifting language and voices - pseudoscientific jargon, common vernacular, metaphoric stream - the author satirically explores maternity and femininity, the mother-state and consumer society. Her sense of the absurd is without limit, taking in all urban existence: durg addiction, murder, sex crimes, corruption and dysfunctional family relationships as scenes of episodic sexual violence alternate with humorous reflections on various ingrained customs and habits.
