On the 14th anniversary of his passing, we will commemorate Václav Havel with humour and exaggeration via one of his most successful plays. What is happiness really? Bedřich Vaněk finds himself visiting his friends Michal and Věra. They ostentatiously demonstrate their "perfect" life, which gradually turns into empty posturing and pretence. Havel ironically reveals conformity, resignation and the loss of inner freedom during the years of Husákian "darkness". This one-act satire by Václav Havel from 1975 is part of his "Vaněk" series, in which the character of writer and dissident Vaněk is confronted with the absurd reality of normalized society.
The latest production of Private View is directed by Radek Bár, a long-time member of Andrej Krob’s Divadlo na tahu theatre company.
Cast: Tereza Tobiašová, Vojtěch Efler, Radek Bár
