An exhibition on the upcoming comic about the early and most beautiful creative years of the legendary couple Lasica and Satinský, set in midst of the short but intense life of the Bratislava Theater Divadlo na Korze during the normalization period in Czechoslovakia at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s. The story maps the common journey of Lasica and Satinský from their theatrical beginnings, through subversive performances on their very own stage at the time of the coming normalization, to them being banned along with the whole theatre and the State’s effort to erase any footprint of the L + S couple from all state archives and spectators' memories. The author of the theme is Peter Michalík, the script was written by Peter Gärtner, illustrated by Ďuro Balogh. The book will be published on November 2, 2021.
