The Vagina Monologues, an episodic play written by Eve Ensler, will be performed in Prague at Kasárna Karlín on the 21st and 28th of February. The main topics are the relationship to one’s own body, childbirth, sexuality, and gender-based violence. The proceedings from the performance will go to the Czech non-profit organization Konsent, which has been dealing with these topics for a long time and educating the broad society about them. The Vagina Monologues is based on interviews with over 200 women about their sexual experiences, relationships and gender-based violence. Eve Ensler first introduced the play in 1996 and since then has been regularly editing and updating the script. The aim of the production is to present a wide range of voices and stories. A recurring theme throughout the is the vagina as a tool of empowerment, and the ultimate embodiment of individuality.

This old Gothic house is truly a very special place. First of all the palace belongs to an old aristocratic Kolowrat family (Kolowrat-Krakowsky line), whose members from the 13th century play an important role in the Bohemia history. Nowadays the family works over the Kolowratek Endowment Fund which supports the patronal tradition of the family. They also successfully manage the family property which consists of important historical buildings and even woods. You have to read the history of this old noble family by yourself, it is worthy of attention for sure. The building that I am writing about is placed on the Ovocný trh, as you may find more houses with the same name in the city. The Baroque building was created in two periods. In 1670 and 1672 Jan Václav Kolowrat-Novohradsky bought the land and built the new palace on the place of the medieval house U Vrabcu. You can see his coat of arms over the main entrance. The architect was Giovanni Domenico Orsi, who also worked over other family projects. It was finished around 1690 and in 1697 was bought the nearby house U Hrozny and on its place appeared the new wing of the palace which...

Their work is marked by Durst’s abrasive, angry lyrics and Borland’s sonic experimentation and elaborate visual appearance, which includes face and body paint, masks and uniforms, as...
