Actor: Karel Kryl

A performance by Karel Kryl was recorded in 1969 and released from the archives of the public television and radio company NRK almost fifty years later. The recording, which is more than 22 minutes long, was made in Oslo, Norway, at the end of June and beginning of July during Kryl's three-week stay in Scandinavia, where he was invited by the Norwegian Student Union at the instigation of Czechoslovak exiles. Karel Kryl then returned to Czechoslovakia, but at the time of the Norwegian premiere of the program on October 28, 1969, the anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia, he was already living in exile in Munich. The then 25-year-old singer and exceptional poet accompanied his five songs, Salome, Jeřabiny, Bratříčku, zavírej vrátka, Marat ve vaně and Rakovina, with illustrations he drew with chalk on a blackboard in the studio.
