Agadir: Hassan Ali Djan – On the Strings of Hope

A programme of music and drama based on the autobiography of Afghan writer Hassan Ali Djan, who some years ago left his homeland in dramatic circumstances and, after arduous travels, obtained asylum in Germany. His story is a reflection of contemporary society, which swings between natural ability and effort to help those in need and old-fashioned prejudices. It is also a reflection of brave determination, tenacity and faith in goodness. The tensions between life and death and danger and courage are expressed through words, music and movement. The literary inspiration is the book Afghanistan. Munich. I. My Escape to a Better Life. The programme will be performed by Brno’s Agadir theatre company.
