Jan Němec, Petr Vizina: Signs of the Unknown

We search for what cannot be found and, in happy moments, find what cannot be searched for. It would be easy to speak of spirituality, or even of mystical experiences, but the main focus is on stories of inner transformation. In Znamení neznámého (Signs of the Unknown) musician Shina, cleric Petr Vacík, painter Jan Pražan, translator Markéta Crowe, poet Adam Borzič, environmentalist Jiří Zemánek, philosopher Alice Koubová, Zen monastery abbot Jiří Hazlbauer and nun Denisa Červená discuss that about which there first must long be silence – which may be trauma and mastery, or the truth before words and behind them. How is it when somebody tries to find themselves and finds far more? Nine interviews about interior life, nine stories of that which we have forgotten and nine witnesses to the signs of the unknown amongst us.
