On the crowded square, a street musician plays popular melodies, bringing the listeners to different countries and epochs. From this music the characters of the books fighting the Evil appear. The hero of ancient Greek myth Icarus, suffering in captivity, fights space by flying; Don Quixote fights against all human injustice; Harry Potter fights against the Evil seeking to take over the whole World. From the pages of books they call us – are we willing to stand with them and fight? Do we understand where is the main Evil - in the circumstances, in other people, in ourselves?
