Jiří Havelka is one of the Czech Republic’s most exciting theatre directors, as well as being an actor, playwright and teacher. In addition Havelka scored a huge critical and commercial success with his debut film Owners, a work that he also performed on stage with the acclaimed theatre company Vosto5.
In this wide-ranging chat, Havelka (1980) discusses the collaborative process behind Vosto5’s plays, the art of guiding audiences through heavy themes, plans for a second movie – and living on a houseboat on the Vltava.
