An Evening with Andrei Sannikov
- Where: Montmartre Gallery
- When: May 9, 2013, 19:00 – 21:00
Andrei Sannikov is a Belarusian dissident, former political prisoner and 2010 opposition presidential candidate. He has been granted political asylum in the UK and now lives in London. Sannikov is coming to the Czech Republic for the premiere of his play Flying Over the Rainbow. He and another nine imprisoned Belarusian dissidents were the addressees of a letter from Václav Havel in December 2011 that was the very last text Mr. Havel wrote before his death.
Andrei Sannikov will be introduced by the Belarusian Czech studies expert Sjarhej Smatrychenka, who will lead a discussion with him, while the playwright René Levinský will read excerpts from Flying Over the Rainbow. The main part of the evening will be devoted to a debate on literary, political and other May-related themes.
