Zuzaně Navarové do nebes

**Songs by Zuzana Navarová, performed by Iva Marešová and the Philharmonic Orchestra, will resonate through Nová Spirál this fall** This unique project will offer the audience new arrangements of Zuzana Navarová’s songs, brought to life through an original and sensitive performance by the acclaimed singer, the band RAZAM, and the Hradec Králové Philharmonic Orchestra. It follows up on the Klicpera Theater’s production *A pak usnu a vstanu* (*And Then I’ll Fall Asleep and Wake Up*), which was highly acclaimed by both audiences and critics. William Valerián will provide vocal accompaniment. Radek Doležal created the songs’ subtle yet spectacular arrangements. This powerful experience is further enhanced by the modern circular auditorium of Nová Spirála, where the audience becomes almost part of the performance and the stage is practically at their fingertips. This newly created multi-genre cultural space is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and features a hall with a revolving stage. **Iva Marešová** is a Czech singer, actress, and songwriter from Hradec Králové. She is a co-founder of the international group RAZAM, in which she performs in various lineups with Belarusian accordionist Aliaksandr Yasinski, drummer and pianist Radek Doležal, guitarist and bassist Michael Vašíček, guitarist Vladimír Šrámek, violinist Marc Čan, and Russian violist Ilia Chernoklinov. She also has extensive experience in musicals, such as her role as *Joan of Arc* at the Kalich Theater. In addition to her own projects, Marešová was the lead singer of the band Precedens from 2016 to 2019; she also made guest appearances with the bands Blue Effect and Čechomor and collaborated with Michal Pavlíček, Jiří Škorpík, Oskar Petr, and David Bowie’s guitarist Gerry Leonard. In 2023, Vladimír Šrámek, director of the Hradec Králové Philharmonic, organized a highly successful, sold-out joint concert. This led to the idea of recording their collaborative songs on an album, which was released last year under the title *Na dně mojí duše*.
