“Three Lefty Hours” is based on 14 short texts by the early 20th century Russian writer Daniil Kharms (1905-1942) grouped in a small chapter of the Great Encyclopaedia of Human Stupidity.
Aware of the importance of Daniil Kharms writings in the world of literature, Marionet wanted to contribute to its diffusion within Portuguese borders. For that reason, and together with the show Three Lefty Hours, a book with the same name was published, containing the texts by Daniil Kharms used in the show, translated by Júlio Henriques, who is also responsible for an introduction to the writer and his universe also included in the book.
The show “Three Lefty Hours” premiered on March 12, 2001 at the Teatro Académico de Gil Vicente, in Coimbra. The order of the texts in this book is Marionet’s responsibility and corresponds to the order in which they were presented in the show.
This book is on sale at Marionet, from Monday to Friday (9:30am-1pm / 2:30pm-6pm), for €5
