Soul Repair: Martina Preissová and Dáša Zázvůrková

An original show by Martina Preissová and Dáša Zázvůrková combines readings from books, duets, feuilletons, stand-up, and solo chansons — all from their shared creative workshop. Martina Preissová will read stories from her books "How I Was Not at the Lions" and "Do They Have Glasses in Heaven?", while Dáša Zázvůrková complements the programme with songs. The audience will also hear compositions written jointly by both protagonists.
