Obsahově jde v jeho inscenacích často o demytizaci, nahlížení věcí z druhé strany; odhaluje nejrůznější zdánlivě nezvratné jistoty, mýty či legendy, ale i módní idoly, ikony, filmové, hudební, divadelní i životní manýry a stereotypy.

Jiří Jelínek (1973) – A representative of auteur-style theatre who, as well as producing auteur texts, also directs, creates sets and acts. He is the founder of the distinguished Czech puppet company Dno Hradec Králové, in which he has been active for over ten years. After a few years he and other members of the company started to work with Vladimír Morávek in the Klicpera Theatre in Hradec Králové, where he acted and directed. Together with Morávek he then went to Brno to the Goose on a String Theatre, leaving after four years to go freelance. He works with the Divadlo Minor, the Reduta Theatre, the Tramtárie Theatre and Studio Ypsilon. In terms of content, his productions are often attempts at demythification, to look at something from the other side. He strips bare all kinds of apparently incontrovertible truths, myths and legends, as well as fashion idols, icons and the mannerisms and stereotypes of music, theatre and life. Jelínek typically uses wordplay based on the paradoxes that arise from multiple meanings of words, from homonyms and words that sound similar to each other. Grotesque elements are ever-present, creating an impression of non-committal lightness, but in reality the best always contain an attempt to precisely formulate a theme that is often of a serious or tragic nature (Cyrano, Hamlet, Richard 3., Paris from Romeo and Juliet…, but also Bye – Bye, Little Donkey, Roundthetable…). A further typical characteristic of his productions is a rich web of theatrical, literary, musical and artistic elements, mostly following the compositional principle of the revue.
