How to Feed a Dictator / Part One: Fidel Castro
18. 4. 2026 (18:30)
This work-in-progress by Jakub Gottwald and Pavel Neškudla, inspired by Witold Szabłowski’s book How to Feed a Dictator, returns to Fidel Castro’s Cuba and the Cuban Revolution. It examines the situation of what was once the wealthiest Caribbean island following the communist coup of 1958–1959 and raises the question of how a humanistic vision becomes an instrument of power.

What Mišpacha sings are primarily prayers, and in Mišpacha’s rendition, singing thus returns to its original, highest calling—the expression of human spirituality.
