Prague Castle to Celebrate Václav Havel With Four-Month Festival
<p>Prague Castle will host a four-month festival celebrating the legacy of Václav Havel, with theatre, film, music, design and public debates taking place from October through January. The Havel ALIVE festival will mark what would have been Havel’s 90th birthday and explore the continued relevance of his ideas. Most events will be free. One of the main highlights will be the Czech premiere of The Warning, an unfinished Havel play that remained hidden for almost 40 years. The manuscript was discovered by David Dušek among the papers of writer Zdeněk Urbánek. The production has been prepared by Jiří Havelka, artistic director of Dejvické Theatre, and will feature actors Martin Myšička and Ivan Trojan. The theatre will also present We’ll Start It Tomorrow, or Who’s the Gentleman Here at Prague Castle’s Riding Hall. The festival will also focus on Havel’s influence on Czech design. In cooperation with Designblok, Prague Castle will present Design for Václav Havel, featuring objects connected with his presidency, including Bořek Šípek’s Olga chair, original glass pieces and Castle Guard uniforms designed by Theodor Pištěk. For the first time, the exhibition will also show the entire presidential office, including Havel’s library. It will open during Designblok on October...</p> <p>The post <a href="https://praguemorning.cz/havel-alive-festival-prague-castle/">Prague Castle to Celebrate Václav Havel With Four-Month Festival</a> appeared first on <a href="https://praguemorning.cz">Prague Morning</a>.</p>
