Prague – American actor John Malkovich will present the play The Infamous Ramirez Hoffman in the world premiere in Prague. It is again a single actor in which Malkovich himself performs only accompanied by musicians, just as was the case with his previous performance in July this year in Kroměříž. Pavel Pešek informed ČTK about the performance today on behalf of the organizers.

The famous actor gave a solo performance in Podzámecká in Kroměříž, in which he portrayed a bitter music critic. Kroměříž was the only place in the Czech Republic where interested parties could see the play The Music Critic, with which Malkovich was on tour.

He has chosen Prague for his next play, he will perform at the Congress Center on November 11, and only then will he go on tour with her. He will be accompanied by violinist So-Ock Kim, Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi with bandoneon and pianist Anastasya Terenkova. The play will be performed in English.

The new play was based on the last chapter of the book Estrelio Distante by the Chilean author Robert Bolaň. The novel was published in Czech as the Distant Star. Narrator with a mixture of horror and fascination of several episodes, with which the poem0 and poems in the early 70s are depicted. A man created poetry by writing verses in the sky with airplane jets.

The search for who this poet-war pilot actually is, what art means to life and how many other people’s lives someone is willing to sacrifice for a peculiar art form the backbone of a narrative full of twists and turns and other stories. The book, considered by literary critics to be one of Bola’s most essential works, is a fable about a fraudulent artist who cared only about aesthetics instead of any ethics, and another variant of Bola’s search for the form of modern evil.
