EKG - Of Love and Discoveries
8/2/2010 20:00 - An evening of new literary talents. Presented by Igor Malijevsky and Jaroslav Rudiš, with guests Hynek Trojánek, Tereza Verecká, the Dancing Mirror and others.
On Monday, February 8 and Tuesday, February 9, Igor Malijevský’s and Jaroslav Rudiš’s EKG literary music show will be devoted to Love and Discoveries. The authors have invited to Prague’s Archa Theatre researcher and artist Vojtěch Kovařík as well as EKG’s literary discoveries. Monday will feature prose writer Hynek Trojánek, poet and prose writer Tereza Verecká, the mysterious Dancing Mirror and others. On Tuesday, poet and musician Ondřej Buddeus will be accompanied by guitarist Lukáš Kosek and pianist Filip Kotlář, prose writer Milan Dedera, Petr Koubek and others. Both evenings will conclude with acting, singing and dancing by the EMO girl group Audiofenky.
We asked the protagonists, why discoveries?
“I studied theoretical physics and it seems to me a shame not to share the results of my discoveries with the audience of EKG. Unfortunately, in Czech literature we are still neglecting dissertations dealing with the determinist chaos in the tokamak plasma. Narrative and humorous motifs are there too,” explains Malijevský.
“While writing my dissertation about German newspapers and magazines in Liberec I discovered a small treasure: several issues of a charming magazine called Incineration. It was published by the friends of the Liberec crematorium----maybe I’ll read some of it,” added Rudiš
ABOUT EKG
EKG is a literary musical show, which in collaboration with Archa Theatre has been headed by Igor Malijevský and Jaroslav Rudiš since the start of 2007. EKG is today the largest Czech scene for live literature and aims to cross over genres and generations. The protagonists are always on the border of literary reading, musical evening and theatrical cabaret; each show is a premiere and a final performance at the same time. Improvisation, communication with the audience and authorial recitals of new texts by contemporary Czech writers all feature prominently in the performance.
In Czech.
