Programme dedicated to the great Czech poet and visual artist. A poetic collage entitled Ode to Jiří Kolář will pay tribute to his tireless experimentation and fracturing of the borders and definitions of poetry. Via a selection of his poems and text collages we will also look back at his reflections on writing and creativity. A collage composed by Soňa Pokorná will be performed by the young actors Julie Ondračková and Samuel Toman.

Jáchym Topol will discuss the relationship between the young writer Václav Havel and Jiří Kolář as a moral and poetic authority.

The evening will also include the screening of a 1998 documentary by Aleš Kisil in which Jiří Kolář discusses his life and work.
