The Challenges, Paradoxes and Plays of Václav Havel: The Mistake

Illustration
  • Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
  • When: April 21, 2015, 19:00 – 21:00

The micro-play The Mistake is set in a prison cell, its “heroes” are six cons and the theme is the communication between them, respectively communication between people as such.

The first theatrical work Václav Havel wrote after his return from a four-year prison term in 1983 evidently reflects his recent grim experiences, including in the use of rough prison slang. The evening will focus on the circumstances surrounding the writing of the one-act play, its theatrical staging and imprisonment itself. We will also present the Havel miniature as performed by the Kašpar theatre company and directed by Jakub Špalek.

This series of evenings dedicated to Václav Havel’s plays has been prepared by Anna Freimanová.
