It's No Longer Cool to Be a Nobleman — Hrubá Skála Castle, Hrubá Skála
Description was written before the event

An original theatrical performance by Zhruba Theatre, 60 minutes long.

Can any of you name five still-existing Czech noble families? Or remember the name Pauline Witoria Maria Philomena Countess Széchényi de Sárvár - Felsővidék? There are 1918 reasons why it's no longer cool to be a nobleman, and these are two of them.

In many European countries, aristocrats are something like celebrities who influence public opinion — people invite them to talk shows. Where did Czech nobility go, why don't we hear about them, and what caused their decline? This performance seeks answers to these questions.
