The story of the birth of Jesus does not change, because how it was back then is written once and for all. However, the times change, and thus the people who tell this story. Christmas cookies, carp and potato salad, carols, candles, decorations, fairy tales – but who was Jesus and why was he born? The performance creates a dreamy, mysterious atmosphere of Christmas through scenic images; the ancient biblical history unfolds here from the ordinary story of Joseph and Mary, the supernatural and the mundane intertwine to momentarily capture hope, suffering, anger, and joy.
For the first time, the public will see the exceptional gift that the gallery received from Marie Christine Sekal, the widow of the prominent Czech sculptor, painter, and translator Zbyněk Sekal.
Christmas has a special ability to transform even the most ordinary moments into something we look forward to all year. The smell of freshly baked cookies, lights in the windows, the first wrapped gift, or the evening when we finally turn off our phones and watch our favorite movie. However, amidst shopping, baking, and endless to-do lists, we sometimes forget the most important thing – to enjoy the preparations themselves. This year, try it a little differently. You don’t need a perfectly coordinated Christmas tree or twelve types of cookies. Just a few ideas that will bring joy to you and others. And perhaps the simplest ones will ultimately create the best Christmas atmosphere.
