Jiří Suchý – theatre personality, musician, poet, writer, graphic artist, collector, and self-professed clown who is eternally young in spirit – has been one of the key figures of the domestic cultural scene over the last six decades. He has put on 97 plays at the Semafor theatre and has written the lyrics for 1,400 songs and the music for 500. Today, in an era beset by an onslaught of images that are often of questionable worth, this legendary figure’s tireless efforts to enrich the Czech language and its poetic nuances have been of inestimable value. Olga Sommerová lays before us Suchý’s prolific creative and civic journey through life with her customary subtle distinctiveness, demonstrating her singular flair for capturing exceptional moments.
