Liao Yiwu – God is Red

An evening with Liao Yiwu, a Chinese writer, musician, and dissident, signatory of Charter 08, who was imprisoned and tortured for his views. His writings, which reflect Chinese society, have been published with success around the world but are banned in his native country. The book of interviews, God Is Red, captures the stories of Christians under dictatorship and is a testimony to cruel persecution, solidarity, faith, and courage. We are also presenting the Czech editions of the author's LPs and CDs, Bloodshed and Composition for Bamboo Flute for Liu Xiaobo. Vladimír Lábus Drápal and Ivo Hucl will conduct a talk with Liao Yiwu, interpreted by Olga Lomová, while Jáchym Topol will moderate.
