Current Affairs Plastic People resurrect Passion Play

28-03-2005 | Nikola Brabenec

On Good Friday, the legendary underground band, The Plastic People of the Universe performed "Passion Play" which is about the crucifixion of Christ. They played it for the first time in 1978 at Vaclav Havel's country cottage but given the political situation back then, they were not able to play it again. After the fall of communism the band was reunited and recently decided to revive "Passion Play". They are now performing it in cooperation with Agon orchestra. Nikola Brabenec joins us now for an interview with her father, Vratislav Brabenec, who is the Plastic People's saxophone player.
