Program for "Une nuit pour Václav Havel", Festival d'Avignon
This two-page document is the program for "Une nuit pour Václav Havel" ("A Night for Václav Havel"), a theatrical event held at the Festival d'Avignon on July 21, 1982. Organized by the International Association for the Defense of Artists (AIDA), the event was a gesture of solidarity with the imprisoned Czech playwright and human rights activist. The program details Havel's situation, noting his four-and-a-half-year sentence of forced labor and the specific prohibition on writing imposed upon him. It includes a quote from a prison letter by Havel to his wife, Olga. The second page outlines the performances under the title "Vanek à la recherche de son auteur" ("Vanek in Search of His Author"). The evening featured a collection of short plays, readings, and musical pieces by numerous French and international artists, including works by Samuel Beckett, Arthur Miller, and Elie Wiesel, with many pieces centering on Havel's alter ego, Ferdinand Vanek.
