Tribute to Ivan Blatný: Even Fish Sometimes Run Out of Words

A multimedia evening dedicated to Ivan Blatný takes place on Tuesday, 3 November 2026 at the West Bohemian Museum in Plzeň. This is one of two Czech dates for the project, with the other scheduled in Tišnov in July. The programme features the world premiere of compositions by German composer Holmer Becker, performed by an international ensemble, with actor Ondřej Kepka providing the readings. The evening includes a screening of visual materials documenting the poet's life, followed by a discussion with the creators and performers. The project focuses on Blatný's fate in exile and his literary legacy.
