Illustration
  • Where: Montmartre Gallery
  • When: June 2, 2010, 18:00 – 19:30

Poet of civic and everyday matters. Poet of Cafés and embankments. Poet of hated America. Poet almost quenched by a playwright, dissident, thinker and president. Poet who for all that survived. The cycle will recall the work of five most significant authors of the group, five non-conforming teenagers of the 50s: Jiří Kuběna, Viola Fischerová, Josef Topol, Věra Linhartová and at the end also contemporary texts of Václav Havel himself.

Diary entry for 5. December 2005, To the Castle and Back

„In short, Being has a memory. And thus even my insignificance – as a bourgeois child, a laboratory assistant, a soldier, a stagehand, a playwright, a dissident, a prisoner, a president, a pensioner, a public phenomenon, and a hermit, an alleged hero but secretly a bundle of nerves – will remain here for ever, or rather not here, but somewhere. But not, however, elsewhere. Somewhere here.“
