Hello, this is Navalny
Hello, this is Navalny – Letters from a free man. Reading from letters from prison and speeches at court hearings. A reading as part of the Salzburg Festival 2024
This reading will take place in the “Drama” section of the Salzburg Festival 2024 at the Salzburg State Theatre. Alexei Navalny was the best-known Russian opposition activist and died in a Russian prison camp in mid-February 2024 for reasons that are still unknown.
“Alexei Navalny’s letters from prison and his speeches at court hearings have become a special literary genre in which one of the most famous political prisoners appears as a sober analyst, a passionate prophet, a stern and ironic accuser and a loving husband. He dissects the Russian government, describes the conditions in Russian prisons, takes excursions into Russian history and shares personal experiences. His epistolary legacy tells the story of the Russian resistance and how to maintain humanity under inhumane conditions.”
