PERFORMANCE DETAIL

Even in his final drama, the author is overly ironic towards himself, describing himself as a submissive dreamer that had managed to move the world, but lately he can’t move a single person. And that’s the worst part, as it was a person, the people, who were always the most important to him! Even for his successors people are important, yet the single individual is different. It is someone with lower, more rational, easily satisfied ideals… Chekhov's tragicomedy of the most played Czech playwright about people who aim high and about those who have fallen from the top.

 

The play is staged as a unique combination of two dramas, where Gogol's Inspector (premiering on March 12, 2020) is thematically linked to Havel's Leaving. What happened to the promising politician Klein, who takes power in Leaving?
