How many stories are hidden between the layers of a painting?
The production Imprint invites you to the gallery for an evening when paintings are transformed into a live scene. Voice, silence, movement, words, and visual language come together in a collage that is created directly among the works of art.
In collaboration between the National Gallery Prague and the Memory of Nations Theatre, an original lyrical-dramatic sequence is being created by students under the direction of Josef Doležal. Young artists immerse themselves in the life stories of visual artists marked by the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century and compose a collage of scenes, poems, and images from their fates and visual language.
Students were inspired by the stories of eyewitnesses Ivan Bukovský, Sylvia Klánová, Olga Sozanská, Jiří Sozanský, and Jana Vohryzková.
We Are Memory (Paměť jsme my) is a series of theatrical productions by Post Bellum, the Memory of Nations Theatre, which has been created continuously since 2019. It is part of the European project Theatre of Remembrance, which produces performances in ten locations in eight European countries on the occasion of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27. The project commemorates the stories of eyewitnesses whose lives were affected by World War II and the Holocaust through the work of young people in collaboration with professional artists.
The project is created with financial support from the European Union, the City of Prague, Prague 7 District, the Foundation for Holocaust Victims, and the State Fund of Culture.
