Soul Repair Shop

Soul Repair Shop is an original show 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 the creative work of both artists. The audience will hear excerpts from Martina Preissová's books "How I Was Not on the Lions" and "Do They Have Glasses in Heaven?" and songs created through the joint collaboration of both protagonists.

Martina Preissová is a theatre, television and film actress, and since 2000 has been a permanent member of the drama ensemble of the National Theatre in Prague. She has been nominated twice for the Thalia Award (1999, 2004). Audiences know her from the TV series Hospital at the Edge of Town, Anatomy of Life, Sunny and Friends, and from the films I'll Wake Up Yesterday and Mothers.

Dáša Zázvůrková studied non-verbal and comedy theatre at HAMU under Boris Hybner and Italian Studies at the Faculty of Philosophy of Charles University. From 2003 to 2014 she was an external member of the Semafor theatre, and in 2007 she played the role of Vanilla in the jazz opera A Well-Paid Walk at the National Theatre. She is known for the production Can We Even with a Man and currently performs with the project A Tribute to Hana Hegerová.
