• 00:01:13.273
• as Prague has a special relationship to Munich.00:01:16.601
• 00:01:16.601
• Prague is the closest capital city to Munich.00:01:39.799
• 00:01:39.799
• It is closer than Vienna, closer than Paris,00:01:43.805
• 00:01:43.805
• and even closer that Berlin.00:01:49.803
• 00:01:49.803
• However, Prague is an unknown city to us here.00:02:00.823
• 00:02:00.823
• Prague is closely connected with history,00:02:14.705
• 00:02:14.705
• yet we don't know much about it today.00:02:19.478
• 00:02:19.478
• We have little knowledge of Prague,00:03:02.451
• 00:03:02.451
• and we don't know anything00:03:05.217
• 00:03:05.217
• about its contemporary cultural scene.00:03:09.703
• 00:03:09.703

• 00:03:19.091
• The situation used to be different.00:03:46.146
• 00:03:46.146
• I remember well that for my generation00:03:48.730
• 00:03:48.730
• in the 60's, Prague was a city00:03:51.617
• 00:03:51.617
• showing an alternative perspective.00:03:54.521
• 00:03:54.521
• At the time, I was a student00:04:17.956
• 00:04:17.956
• of Munich Academy of Arts.00:04:21.225
• 00:04:21.225
• At least three times in one semester00:04:23.130
• 00:04:23.130
• we would go to Prague via Plzeň,00:04:25.973
• 00:04:25.973
• which was not always without complications.00:04:29.546
• 00:04:29.546
• Then came the unforgettable day00:04:47.086
• 00:04:47.086
• of which we now celebrate00:04:55.759
• 00:04:55.759

• 00:04:58.658
• We did not plan it,00:05:01.462
• 00:05:01.462
• but this happened to be the 40th anniversary00:05:03.470
• 00:05:03.470
• of August 21, 1968.00:05:06.709
• 00:05:06.709
• As I've said before, we did not choose00:05:41.779
• 00:05:41.779
• this date on purpose.00:05:43.929
• 00:05:43.929
• However, it is often true00:05:46.171
• 00:05:46.171
• that such coincidences00:05:48.767
• 00:05:48.767
• end up having the most success.00:05:51.947
• 00:05:51.947
• On the night before August 21,00:06:16.341
• 00:06:16.341
• Czechoslovakia was attacked00:06:20.258
• 00:06:20.258

• 00:06:34.492
• After this tragic date,00:07:09.729
• 00:07:09.729
• many things kept occurring in Prague.00:07:12.260
• 00:07:12.260
• However, they were invisible to us.00:07:14.708
• 00:07:14.708
• After the Velvet Revolution,00:07:20.125
• 00:07:20.125
• the cultural scene re-emerged,00:07:25.254
• 00:07:25.254
• but we were no longer connected with it.00:07:28.509
• 00:07:28.509
• During the dark period,00:07:54.887
• 00:07:54.887
• there were four professors00:07:57.757
• 00:07:57.757
• whose students00:08:00.435
• 00:08:00.435
• later became lecturers00:08:02.938
• 00:08:02.938
• teaching students about their change.00:08:05.979
• 00:08:05.979
