Information
Night is coming down, fall is in the air and the most magical evening in Libeň is beginning. Together we will celebrate the All Soul’s Day with everything that belongs to it. We’ll explore the mystery together, be touched, a little scared and enjoy a magical evening. A portion of poetic theatre, dark performances and catharsis with lots of lights awaits us. Bring your loved ones and celebrate the holiday of memories with us.
The theatre will feature the dance poem Wobbly throughout the evening, and the entire house will come alive with a series of light and sound installations that invite those who carry courage in their winter jacket to explore.

Alica Minar: Woobly
A creature that playfully, without thinking, discovers the world and plunges itself into the present moment. On the border between abstraction and narration, Wobbly balances itself precariously above triviality. As a ball of unimaginably massive problems suddenly untangles, we are confronted with emptiness and oversaturation and our inner world begins to glow with color. The driving force behind this quirky movement poem is the desire for the heart to leap.

Simona Rybová: What awaits you and is meant to happen
psycho-magic game
“I insist that reality is not rational, but people believe it is, for their peace of mind.”
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Enter the world of imagination and symbols, and play a game with your subconscious.
Let your fantasy run wild. For the unconscious, poetic language of symbols is more comprehensible than rational language. Much like dreams, surreal cards will take you into the recesses of your mind.
We will gladly guide you through these nooks and crannies and help you guess… what awaits you and is meant to happen.

Jitka Ribárová: Light messages
Boundaries between the world of the living and the world of the dead get blurred tonight. Light up your message to those who have crossed over to the other shore. Write or draw your note to them, charge it with light, and the all-embracing darkness will help you make it bright. Maybe they will answer you…

Mária Ševčíková: The end is within one’s reach
What could the last sentence in a book tell us? Last will be first! And what was before is just an insignificant sides of paper.

Jitka Ribárová, Simona Rybová, Jirka Patera: An Alphabet of Shrieks, Squeals, and Screams
Wheee, whoo-hoooo, yippeee
This rare alphabet was created as a reaction to the increasing misuse of words and their growing emptiness in our postmodern society. It also carries original graphic expression and dwells in a unique acoustic form – a talking keyboard.
Since some statements and misinformation we’re accustomed to hear every day are downright scary, we have decided to incorporate the keyboard into our All Souls’ Day evening programme.
Come and compose your own scream in the dark.
Participating artists: Alica Minar, Mária Ševčíková, Magdaléna Vrábová, Simona Rybová, Jitka Ribárová, Filip Horn, Josef Malík and more
