Hry – Archimedv zkon, Bouliv asy, Nejhez tlo, jak se kdy na tomhle mst najde (2026)

This Czech-language paperback contains three plays by Josep Maria Mir: Archimedes Principle, Stormy Times and The Prettiest Body Ever Found at This Place. In Stormy Times, Agta asks whether this is a good place to live, looking beyond landscapes and architecture to the realities of people dying while trying to reach our shores, victims of domestic violence, social divisions, bank bailouts and restrictions on artists freedom of expression. The three plays reflect the authors universal love for people and their stories. Josep Maria Mir is one of contemporary Spains most successful playwrights. He has received the MAX award and Spains highest honour for dramatic literature, the National Prize for Dramatic Literature, and is the only author to have won the prestigious Premi Born three times. His plays address urgent issues of the present without reducing drama to a programmatic or political battleground. They are filled with unspoken sentences, repeatedly questioned answers, secrets and disturbing images, while their characters fight for self-determination and the right to their own lives. In the confined spaces of a small town, an apartment building or even a swimming-pool changing room, the shared stories of us all are being played out.
