Guth's production emphasizes the bleak misery of Janáček's masterpiece, portraying Jenůfa’s life within the oppressive confines of whitewashed walls, revealing her struggle to attain happiness.
The entire staging relies on minimalism to convey a feminist perspective, highlighting the oppression women face in a male-dominated society, though this approach ultimately feels insufficiently profound.
Jenůfa's tragedy unfolds as she is denied her lover and forced into a harrowing situation where the choices made by those around her lead to horrific consequences.
Despite its dark themes, Jenůfa remains relatable, as it portrays the struggles of a real woman rather than relying on exaggerated archetypal characters.
