To sign or not to sign? A one-act play about a complicated question and even more complicated answer, about a long-standing dilemma: To stay true to oneself, or to sell one’s soul for peace and advantages? A dialogue between Havel’s most famous character, Ferdinand Vaněk, a writer who, despite the difficulties, chooses moral principles and solidarity with an unjustly imprisoned musician, and a writer “permitted”, resp. tolerated, by the regime, who merely affects morality and is not willing to give up a life of ease.
Join us in looking back at 1978’s Protest, one of Havel’s lesser-known “Vaněk plays”.
A Divadlo Na Tahu production. Directed by Andrej Krob and featuring Karel Beseda and Radek Bár.
