Theatre: Antiwords Performance in Copenhagen - 25. 11. 2026 from 7:30 p.m.

Events | 24. 9. 2026

Internationally acclaimed performance Antiwords is a wild, physical, and uncompromising tribute to Václav Havel. Loosely inspired by his play Audience and its legendary film adaptation directed by Jiří Menzel, the production takes this iconic dialogue into entirely new territory. Can the performers live up to the unforgettable performance of famous Czech actor Pavel Landovský and push themselves to the very edge, where Havel’s theme of alienation meets the Hrabalesque poetics of solitude? The result is a captivating theatrical experience that balances on the fine line between grotesque comedy, absurdity, and profound existential reflection.

Czech Culture Institute in Copenhagen, the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Copenhagen and the University of Copenhagen are pleased to invite you to a performance of Antiwords by the acclaimed Czech theatre ensemble Spitfire Company.
