SPRING, LOVE AND KAFKA

A dangerously romantic evening at PT. Gallery…

Forget the stuffy, starched-collar concert halls. This is classical music stripped of its armour, transported to the Old World, and poured straight into your glass.

On 17 October, step through the doors of PT. Gallery and into a candlelit European château. Lean back into an evening where raw obsession meets soaring melody. While you sample a rich wine or a crisp drink from the bar, live piano and cello will echo through the space—weaving history’s most passionate melodies directly into your soul.

Between these breathless musical chapters, Petra Jungmanova will breathe life into the fiercely passionate, desperate, and provocative love letters written by Franz Kafka to his sweetheart, Milena Jesenská. It is a deliciously intimate look into the mind of a genius utterly consumed by desire—vulnerable, chaotic, and beautifully exposed.

Come for the atmosphere. Stay for the longing. (And perhaps bring someone you’re secretly infatuated with—or hope to be by the end of the night).
