A Little Might Music, or In Tune With Power
The play has been inspired by the year of the Mozart anniversary and the original version was written in German (Eine kleine Machtmusik). The author paraphrases the topic of the artist and society. The story of the conductor Mazort is set in the last decade of the twentieth century. The personal career of a not overly convincing artist is formed and deformed in the world of polarised ideology, while his personal life has become entangled in a secret web of powerful interests. Pavel Kohout tells the story by means of anti-illusory theatre. At the virtual Spider Hotel, which can be considered to be an objectified projection of the conscience, Mazort reconstructs his career as an artist and a husband. The author has effectively woven the dramatic line of a love relationship and spy games and gradually unveils the spider’s web, in which Mazort’s life has been caught.
