MONUMENT: An Interactive One-Woman Comedy Show

What are we building today — and for whom?Step into a construction site where past and present collide in this politically urgent and defiantly funny performance, unfolding across two intertwined narratives. 1948, PRAGUE: A society rebuilds after WWII, driven to construct a MONUMENTAL SYMBOL OF POWER. An artist is pulled into a system that demands loyalty over integrity – a story inspired by the tragic legacy of OTAKAR ŠVEC and the STALIN MONUMENT IN PRAGUE . PRESENT-DAY LONDON: As Europe is heading for another war, Bogdan, a Polish builder and aspiring rapper, navigates exploitation and loneliness while constructing luxury flats – the new monuments of our time. Expect a formally inventive blend of rap, live comedy, and physical theatre. This isn’t just a show to watch – it’s one to build. Audience members become fellow workers, creating a collective experience that explores the migrant journey, the ideology of hard work, and the systems that shape us. Created and performed by Polish-British artist MARGOT PRZYMIERSKA, the production is developed in collaboration with The People Speak. POST-SHOW CONVERSATION After the performance, we invite you to stay for a 20–30 minute post-show conversation led by the Czech Centre Director Tereza Šídlová. This is a chance to unpack the ideas behind the show together – from Eastern European identity and cultural memory, to what it really costs to “make it” in today’s Europe, and how these questions resonate in a Czech context now. * TICKETS: General Admission – £10 (+ Eventbrite fee) Supporter Ticket (artist support contribution) – £13 (+ Eventbrite fee) * BOOK NOW [https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/monument-an-interactive-one-woman-comedy-show-tickets-1990096196295?aff=oddtdtcreator] SHARE THIS: * [Share on X (Opens in new window) X](https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/monument-an-interactive-one-woman-comedy-show/share=twitter [https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/monument-an-interactive-one-woman-comedy-show/?share=twitter]) * [Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook](https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/monument-an-interactive-one-woman-comedy-show/share=facebook [https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/monument-an-interactive-one-woman-comedy-show/?share=facebook]) * [Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp](https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/monument-an-interactive-one-woman-comedy-show/share=jetpack-whatsapp [https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/monument-an-interactive-one-woman-comedy-show/?share=jetpack-whatsapp]) * [Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn](https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/monument-an-interactive-one-woman-comedy-show/share=linkedin [https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/monument-an-interactive-one-woman-comedy-show/?share=linkedin]) * [Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email](mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20MONUMENT%3A%20An%20Interactive%20One-Woman%20Comedy%20Show&body=https%3A%2F%2Feventsforlondon.co.uk%2Fevent%2Fmonument-an-interactive-one-woman-comedy-show%2F&share=email) LIKE THIS: Like Loading…
