Where and when to see it?

Synopsis
Over the past 13 years, the Obcan Havel team has recorded 45 hours of footage and nearly 90 hours of audio testimonies. This truly unique material sheds new light on the international political events of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and the transition of a post-totalitarian country to democracy. Obcan Havel bears witness to the key role played by Václav Havel in the changes that transformed Central and Eastern Europe in the 1990s.
For those who appreciate the literary work of Václav Havel, we invite you to a reading evening at La Baraque, a participatory bar. Actors will read excerpts from plays and essays.
