Talks with Masaryk
Performance & Lecture
10/02/2018 19:00
Bertouille Rotunda
<p>Interwar Czechoslovakia, “the First Republic”, is the mythical golden age for Czechs. The country lived its dream about perfect society – but a reference point for decades to come. The two biggest names of that era are <strong>Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk</strong>, and <strong>Karel Čapek</strong> – the President (and a feminist, a sociologist and a philosopher) and the Writer. Masaryk revolutionized Czech thinking years before becoming the first Czechoslovak president. Karel Čapek was a part of Masaryk’s closest circle. He died just days before the Second World War. <em>Talks with Masaryk</em> is a record of 9 years of conversations between Čapek and Masaryk. Interpreted by young Czech performers, the dramatization of <em>Talks with Masaryk</em> casts light on the ideas that we refer to today. How up-to-date do they sound?</p>
<p>The performance will be introduced by a talk by professor <strong>Alain Soubigou</strong> of the Sorbonne University, a leading scholar, and the author of the biography <em>Thomas Masaryk</em> (Fayard 2002).</p>
