Productions Spring 68 of the theater studio Paměti národa at the Dlouhá Theater had its premiere on May 29, 2023. This production was created under the guidance of experienced lecturer Nika Nováková and the basic inspiration was the story of director Hynk Bočan. Although it might have seemed that the Prague Spring of 1968 would be a promise and a way to loosen the then-repressive regime, in the end only the skepticism of some citizens was confirmed. The Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 not only dashed all hopes for democratization, but also heralded a long socio-political agony, taking place exclusively under the baton of Moscow and cynically called “normalization.” The participants of the Theater Studio Memory of Nations Theatre at the Dlouhá Theater completed the 2022/2023 school year with a performance in the hall of the Monastery of the Voršilek Sisters in Prague 1, during which they focused on developing critical thinking, public speaking, creativity and the ability to orientate themselves in the history of the 20th century.
Thank you for your support.
