A 60-minute postmodern whirlwind about being an artist in very...political times. In Havel's beautiful collection Letters to Olga, comprised of the weekly letters he was permitted to write his wife while in prison, he discusses an extraordinary range of ideas from housekeeping to transcendental philosophy. Some Hero will throw excerpts from these letters against shards and themes from Havel's plays for a wild experiment in absurdity, language, and human connection in desperate circumstances.
