Soul Repair

Soul Repair is an original programme by actress and writer Martina Preissová and singer and actress Dáša Zázvůrková. The programme combines author readings, duets, feuilletons, stand-up and solo chansons — all from their shared creative workshop.

Martina Preissová will read stories from her books "How I Was Never at the Lions" and "Do They Have Glasses in Heaven?". Dáša Zázvůrková will complement the programme with songs, including those created by both authors together.
