Stage reading and debate with Sédjro Giovanni Hounsou, a Beninese playwright and recipient of the RFI Prix Théâtre 2018.

Nothing’s Land is a play about rage, youth, conscience and hope. After several years abroad Malik opts to throw himself under a train rather than die of shame because he has returned home empty-handed. (Translation by Michal and Matylda Lázňovský; stage reading directed by Jiří Hajdyla).

Sédjro Giovanni Hounsou (born 1987), a Beninese playwright and initiator of a platform for other young Beninese artists, has been focused on theatre since the age of 16. He took social studies at university. His first play, 7 Billion Neighbours, was written in 2012 and became the most performed play in Benin.

Afterwards those in attendance are invited to a tasting of culinary specialities organised by the Alliance of Beninese Citizens in the CR.

Interpretation into Czech provided.

The evening takes place as part of the 15th edition of the festival Creative Africa, or We Are All Africans www.tvurci-afrika.simplesite.com
