How many stories are hidden between the layers of a painting?

Imprint invites you to the gallery for an evening when paintings are transformed into a live scene. Voice, silence, movement, words, and visual language come together in a collage that is created directly among the works of art.

In collaboration between the National Gallery Prague and the Memory of Nations Theatre, an original lyrical-dramatic sequence is being created by students under the direction of Josef Doležal. Young artists immerse themselves in the life stories of visual artists marked by the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century and compose a collage of scenes, poems, and images from their fates and visual language.

Students were inspired by the stories of eyewitnesses Ivan Bukovský, Sylvia Klánová, Olga Sozanská, Jiří Sozanský, and Jana Vohryzková.
