In the crematorium Strašnice, during a break between burial ceremonies. The building contains main hall with light high atmosphere. Sounds by two attendants, arranging the wreath. Voices of invisible musicians, gathering somewhere up on the balcony. Sound mapping of Prague necropolis is a challenge. On the other side of the road Vinohradská, is the ancient former Prague German Evangelical Cemetary. Should have been abolished, but survived till now. The resting place of the German Wehrmacht soldiers killed in Prague in May 1945.http://ehs.wz.cz/
