A Midsummer Night's Dream is dedicated to Alois Mikulka, Ivan Martin Jirous and others nameless. Mikulka signed his paintings as State Louis. I wondered what it reffered to: Louis State? Or is it perhaps a reference to the town Saint Luis in south of USA? In his painting The Secret Sign / Revelation, we see a man on his knees his arms raised and he look on something what has appeared on the sky. That something looks like a cloud, but it could also be something what is falling from the sky. Or what, on the contrary, rise up. I don't know if Mr. Mikulka was religious or not. Ivan Martin Jirous probably was. An excerpt from the poem is read by the author and it is from the CD Magor's Birds and Other Stories, released in 2012.
