The Beauty of Today: Wajsar. Trojan. Reindl

World premiere - site-specific performance.

20(1)18: Outstanding representatives of the young Czech generation of composers present their visions of the world in the 22nd century in a unique site-specific project. Today’s democracy and the future will be the subject of a discussion with the investigative journalist Jaroslav Spurný, Charter 77 signatory, founder of Respekt and his guests.

Jaroslav Spurný is one of the founders of the weekly magazine Respekt. In the early eighties he signed Charter 77 and later he was involved in samizdat publishing (Revolver revue, Lidové noviny). After the revolution in 1989, he co-founded the first independent periodical in Czechia — Informační servis, which in March 1990 metamorphosed into Respekt. From the very outset, it focused on investigative journalism, its subjects including events surrounding the former StB and the emergence of new secret services and special forces, the exposure of bank asset stripping and the misappropriation of public property. After 2000 it dealt with the dubious awarding of public contracts, attempts to pervert the course of justice and the carving up of state-owned enterprises, and it is currently looking at issues linked with Russia as a security risk for this country. Over more than twenty-five years, he has written around fifteen hundred articles for Respekt. For his work he has been awarded the ‘Karel Havliček Borovský Prize’ and ‘Ferdinand Peroutka Prize’ and, jointly with his colleague Ondřej Kundra, the Prize for the ‘Best Investigative Article of 2011’. In 2017 he received recognition as a participant in the struggle against and resistance to communism.
