About event
The series of author's poetry readings is organized by the website Nědelní chvilka poezie and the Za školou club. The theme of the November evening will be V. V. Mayakovsky. Guests Tim Postovit, Jana Kitzlerová + Vojtěch Frank, Kino Peklo. Presented by Jonáš Hájek.
The Academia publishing house has published a new translation of Mayakovsky's poems in two volumes. What is the translation of the Russian poet-rabble-rouser good for? Can it still inspire today, or is it just a historical value, inseparable from Mayakovsky's commitment to the Bolshevik revolution? Was Mayakovsky the forefather of slam? Debate, demonstrations, author's performances.
