AB The study focuses on two plays of the winner of the Best Czech Play of 2019 and 2020 - talented author Tomas Dianiska. Title Trans, Points, Seconds was inspired by the scandalous fate of a Czech athlete Zdena Koubkova, who was in fact a man, The Magnificent 294 is a documentary fiction based on a real event - the assassination of Reichsprotektor Heydrich. Dianiska perceives historical themes with controversial optics. His texts are full of black humour and irony, as well as frequent use of pop culture references.
