Martina Hajdyla, Eliška Brtnická, Jana Stárková: TREMULA / last performance
You need to rest. Stay in place for a while. Where just a moment ago the fire was burning, now it is still. The bodies are exhausted, time has slowed. Rest at last. But how long can it be sustained? In Tremula, the artist Eliška Brtnická and the dancer Martina Hajdyla meet on stage for the first time. Together with director Jana Stárková, they search for the intersections of their artistic approaches in pure physicality, which they further develop in collaboration with composer Ian Mikyska and visual artist Pavel Havrda.

Am I a man? What am I allowed to do? What am I not allowed to do? What am I supposed to do? Who will tell me?

It’s about what’s often left unsaid because it’s considered embarrassing. It’s about the vulnerability that men, too, have a right to feel. The event is Parent-Friendly – the ticket price includes free childcare (registration required).

SPOLK: From Scratch
We made a mistake somewhere. Maybe it wasn’t our fault at all, but we can no longer ignore it and pretend that everything is perfect. But what actually happened? And why are we here, of all places?
A dance performance that unfolds as a stream of subtly escalating images. Two dancers in a theatrical and existential limbo. And a functional world crumbling in their hands.

DetailAlica Minar & col.: Practices of Empathy ~ workshop
Workshop led by Alica Minar explores practices of empathy. How close can two bodies dance without touching? What tension, curiosity, or vibration emerges in the space between them? Literal and metaphorical touch enters as both risk and invitation: sensing heat through inner radar, melting into another body, offering ourselves as landscapes that shall be respected, held, and shared. Skin becomes a porous threshold where self meets the other. What happens when the limit is challenged, what kind of embrace does this process entail?

Eva Priečková: I want to keep my grief warm
A lecture/performance on sharing resources related to death and grief. Grief has become a fascination of mine, and as Francis Weller suggests, I would rather keep it warm so that it can move than let it become a sediment in my soul.
DetailEva Priečková, Zuzana Žabková: Crying Girls
The “crying girl” stereotype often evokes hypersensitivity or emotional overload, yet crying can also be an act of power, vulnerability, radical honesty, or release after an emotional peak. Crying Girls embodies this through women in their late thirties who are reliving their girlhood in bodies subject to decay, while referencing the uncompromising spirit of Thelma and Louise. The work was developed by Eva Priečková and Zuzana Žabková as a continuation of their long-term collaboration on a trilogy exploring the female body, vulnerability, decay, and transformation (Bodies in Trouble, 2018; Weak Women, 2023).
DetailAntoinette Helbing: ON/CRYING – The Gravity of Tears
On/Crying – The Gravity of Tears is an ode to tears and the act of crying. Both performance and installation, the work invites the audience into a landscape shaped by tears.
DetailDOUBLE BILL: INPRINTS (work-in-progress) & Last Dance
