A Question and-Answer session follows the performance, with Helena sharing what her life was like growing behind the Iron Curtain and making it to the West. The show features Mark’s own songs, Czech folk songs, as well as several familiar songs and parts of instrumental numbers. The songs are all interspersed with short, humorous dialogues highlighting
