KP: You’re going to perform it yourself, right?
BHL: "Yes. I performed it in Odesa last summer and will do the same in Kyiv this coming Saturday. The script is so personal, so personally tied to me, to everything I am, to my love for Kyiv, my causes, my autobiography, and my Judaism that there’s real meaning in performing it myself.

KP: Where do you rank “Hotel Europe” among your creative works?
BHL: “Pretty highly. Very highly. Because I put so much of myself into it. It’s a sort of 90-minute autobiography. My love of literature, women, politics, history—all of it’s there, all intertwined. So, by definition, it’s a text that’s very dear to me. Not to mention the passages about love and sex, which are obviously disguised, but the most attentive spectators will probably figure them out anyway.”
