Theater: Helver’s Night (Slovakia/Poland)

Helver’s Night (Slovakia/Poland)

By Ingmar Villqist

Directed by Anton Korenči

From Slovakia, with English subtitles. Ingmar Villqist’s Helver’s Night is a thrilling and gut-wrenching play that charts the relationship between Carla and her young charge, Helver. Helver is fascinated by fascism – not by the ideology, which he is unable to grasp, but by the bravura of the movement. With Diana Semanová (Karla) and Peter Čižmár (Helver). Production: Terézia Mindošová.

Sponsored by the Consulate General of Slovakia in New York.

Part of Rehearsal for Truth International Theater Festival honoring Vaclav Havel, produced by the Václav Havel Center and the Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association.
