Marie Špalová
Dokudrama o spontánních protestech proti okupaci
Premiere 25. 4. 2025
A co-production of the South Bohemian Theatre and the Czech Radio České Budějovice
A documentary drama about spontaneous protests in České Budějovice against the occupation
As elsewhere, people in České Budějovice spontaneously protested against the occupation. Others were afraid and collaborated with the occupiers. The occupation and the subsequent normalisation had a profound impact on the whole of Czechoslovak society and affected people’s lives many years later. 1968 is still considered one of the key moments in modern Czech history.
What role did Radio České Budějovice play in these dramatic moments? How did the employees experience the turbulent days of August? Maria Špalová’s documentary drama draws on authentic recordings preserved in the radio archive and the testimonies of witnesses.
The production will be staged in the authentic environment of the České Budějovice radio studio.
