Lecture on water demons (Anna Prstková, Ladislav Čumba)

It dwells in the depths, weak on land. Sometimes it helps, but never for free. Ladislav Čumba discusses the Slavic water demon in Czech literature and theatre. Anna Prstková explores how water demons fare today and what survival strategies they find in times of drying rivers and extreme weather.

About the venue: Přístav 18600

Přístav 18600 is a community art park on Rohanský ostrov in the Karlín district of Prague, established in 2014 on the site of a former railway yard belonging to the Karlín-Přístav station. During the summer season (May–September) it hosts an open-air programme of concerts, theatre, educational lectures, beach volleyball, and children's activities. The venue also includes the MAJÁK bar. The project was initiated by a group of friends aiming to transform a neglected stretch of the Vltava riverbank into a lively public space.
