What Is Insect About?
The premise of Insect without spoilers.
An amateur theatre company struggles to stage a production of "The Insect Play," a satirical work from 1922 by the Čapek brothers. The play features insects exhibiting human flaws like greed, egocentrism, and jealousy. However, the company faces numerous challenges, with the Dung Beetle running late, the Parasite falling asleep, and Mrs. Larva distracted by her knitting, hindering the director’s attempts to guide the performance.
