The desire to create, the desire to live – a musical-literary project

Silvie Hessová (violin) and Dominika Weiss Hošková (cello), performing as the Gideon Klein Duo, will present an evening dedicated to the work of artists interned in the Terezín ghetto, whose voices the Nazis tried to silence. The text by Martina Kinská, dramaturg and director of the Švand Theatre, and the musical works of G. Klein, H. Krása, V. Ullmann and others, together bring to life a powerful testimony of the desire to create and live amidst inhuman conditions. The program will also be complemented by compositions by M. Ravel, A. Dvořák and Jewish folk music, klezmer.
