Days of Slovak Culture will come to Luhačovice. Look forward to Martin Huba or Huncúty

The history of the modern spa in Luhačovice is inextricably linked with the names of the so-called "Luhačovice Musketeers", Dr. František Veselý, architect Dušan Jurkovič, spa administrator Cyril Holuby and Dr. Pavel Blaho. In addition to their efforts to build a top-notch place for treatment, rehabilitation and relaxation, these builders and their contemporaries also sought to create a place that would be suitable for Slavic meetings and cultural convergence.

As one of the results of these efforts, between 1908 and 1913, the Czech-Slovak meetings of the Czechoslovak Unity Association were held annually in Luhačovice. It was the most important meeting in Czechoslovak relations before the First World War. "Many places in Slovakia are not as important to the Slovaks as Luhačovice. And there is no other Czech place that has done as much for Slovakia and Czechoslovak unity as Luhačovice,"

The 11th edition of the Days of Slovak Culture, which the Luhačovice Spa will host from August 31 to September 2, will be a reminder not only of the activities of the Czechoslovak Unity. The programme will include performances by the folklore ensemble Slovácký krúžek and Skaličany in Bratislava, the multi-genre band Huncúti, the actor Martin Huba in the theatre performance Kontrabas and also puppeteers with the traditional puppet theatre "Puppets and Puppets on the Colonnade".

Lázeňské divadlo

The story of a double bassist who will never set the tone in the orchestra. Like most of us... Join him for an evening of suspense, doubt, humour and big twists. For a moment he lets us into the innermost recesses of the human soul, for a moment we hold our breath, only to breathe a sigh of relief and maybe even smile. If you don't have anyone to go to the theatre with, don't worry, come alone. The double bassist will play just for you!

The Players: Martin Huba

Sings: Dominika Mičíková, Veronika Bilová
