A forgotten tale of love, heroism and self-sacrifice

A graphic novel for young adults and adults The Idealist It tells the gripping love story of Jaroslav Klecan – a member of the International Brigades who fought in the Spanish Civil War, was held in French internment camps, and became involved in the domestic resistance during the Protectorate.

Loes van Schaijk (NL – vocals, acoustic guitar) and Honza Bartošek (CZ – vocals, violin) form a charismatic singer-songwriter duo somewhere on the borderline between Irish folk and bluegrass, full of humanity with a strong emphasis on rhythm and phrasing, as well as vocal harmonies and lyrics that are both witty and moving. During last year’s tour of seven European countries, they recorded a full concert at the Het Zevende Huis ("The Seventh House") club in Gorinchem, the Netherlands.

Come and join us at the Čítárna to celebrate the launch of this live album!

Appearing as a guest is the KrMiš duo: Krystyna (accordion, vocals) and Michaela Kalašová (clarinet, vocals).

Krystyna is a singer-songwriter, accordionist and puppeteer. Her songs are imbued with the folklore of her native Beskydy Mountains, as well as the chanson-style atmosphere of the big city. She sings in Polish, Czech, Slovak and the Cieszyn dialect. She also enjoys setting her friends’ poems to music and collecting old folk songs. Michaela Kalašová perfectly complements the performance with her clarinet playing and vocals. 

Loes and Krystyna are colleagues at the non-profit organisation Loutky v nemocnici.
