Buy ticket on sale until 14 Oct

Documentary theatre built on the real stories of women whose role in the Czech dissident movement may have shaped its course in unexpected ways. They supported it with determination, and their children served as both motivation in the struggle against the regime and as a form of atonement for those who served it. How do their children perceive that struggle for a better world today, as adults?

The production poses questions without easy answers: what does it mean to grow up with heroic parents, how much does totalitarianism mark you even when you don't want it to - and how often are hot dogs served at home when you're fighting for a better world?

Performed by Ivana Huspeková, Stela Chmelová, Hana Mathauserová and Anna Trojanová. Directed by Barbara Herz, dramaturgy by Kristýna Tejmarová, music by Vladivojna La Chia, set design by Petra Vlachynská, lighting design by Magdalena Klára Hůlová.
