RED

A generational comedy about passion, pain, irony, desire, the human heart, emotions, death, emptiness and oblivion.

 

Milan Kňažko and Martin Leták in the lead roles of an American play that reflects the atmosphere of today's society - unfulfillable demands, irony, passion and no peace.

 

RED, written by American playwright John Logan, takes us into the studio of the famous painter Mark Rothko as he works on a major commission for the Four Seasons restaurant. However, his new assistant Ken brings an unexpected mirror into his life. The conflict between experience and youthful enthusiasm develops into reflections on the meaning of art, creation, pain, faith and futility.

 

RED is an intense dialogue between two men who gradually reveal, hurt, and transform themselves.
