Libussa Unbound
Mythical heroine with a thousand faces in the digital age - the legacy of Libussa, an affectionate and wise woman who resolves conflicts peacefully.
Her life is a mystery. Did she ever live? Her story spans countries and centuries. Besides being a Czech national symbol, Libussa is also a heroine of Austrian, German, Italian and American theatre plays and legends, and of a fiction film Pagan Queen by Constantin Werner. The mythical figure of Libussa at times left the world of legends and stepped into the real world.
Libussa, mythical prophetess who foresaw the glory of Prague, judge and ruler over men, lives a new life in the digital age, thanks to contemporary artists and spiritual seekers. We can meet Libussa as the founder of school of witchcraft and wizardry in Poland, mascot of Czech bronies - fans of My Little Pony series, or contemporary Libussa priestesses. What is it about Libussa that keeps firing up our imagination?
