Staged reading from Dagmar Šimková’s book Byly jsme tam taky (We Were There Too), an interior, authentic account of Communist prisons, where the author spent 14 years. However, the recollections of Communist atrocities lack neither perspective nor inspirational and appropriate toughness of opinion.
The book has been adapted for staged reading by Blanka Fišerová, who is also one of the actors, and the performances are always improvisational in character. Excerpts from the book, engaged poetry and quotations from period documents will be heard.
