Cabaret Hrabal

       2014 is the Bohumil Hrabal centenary, and among the celebrations is a 'Cabaret Hrabal' in London; see the Czech Centre program.
       At Radio Praha Daniela Lazarová has a Q & A with Czech Centre head Tereza Porybná about it. Among the ... interesting (?) entertainments (?) on offer:

We have Stephen Emmerson who engages audiences and wants to present literature not only as spoken words but also in a physical way -- so he will be creating these placebo pills out of actual pages from Hrabal's books and inviting people to digest his work in the literal sense.

       Some interesting ideas .....

       (Only two Hrabal titles are currently under review at the complete review -- In-House Weddings and Vita Nuova -- but more will follow.)
