Václav Havel needs a pig he can slaughter and cook for a party with his dissident friends. An American journalist arrives for an interview. The villagers have a pig to sell, but where is it? And why is everyone singing The Bartered Bride? Food, drink, song, video, politics and celebration collide in this adaptation by experimental Czech director Vladimír Morávek of Havel’s text and Smetana’s music. This project is a co-production with Untitled Theater Company No. 61, the company that brought you The Havel Festival, and was translated by Edward Einhorn and directed by Henry Akona, and was in development at 3LD for a 4 week residency.
