Information

November, the sun sets before it has time to settle in the sky, the countryside is covered with clouds and the first frosts appear in the morning fields. We are sinking into ourselves, becoming fragile beings, and all we need to do is crawl under a cosy blanket… or to embrace the darkness and head-off on an adventure! 

We will travel through the region of Hradec Králové to Broumov, up to the misty scenery with never-used bunkers overlooking the landscape. Rocks, owls, deer and wolves. Displaced areas, melancholy and rich history. Who are those who remain in the landscape to make culture? 

Our bus will stop at the art colony in Josefov Fortress, and we watch site-specific performance in Náchod. We will walk through the forest to Soulkostel, the home of magical sounds and memories of the Warmflasche festival. We will accept an invitation to Fara Hoprich in Martínkovice and will be one of the first to visit the newly opened Studio Hronov art residency. Along the way, we will listen to an ambient concert and open ourselves to the stories that the landscape inscribes in people’s lives.

The PerformanceBus is a magical journey we are embarking on for the sixth time with our driver Mr. Marcel. It is our means by which we direct our attention to cultural institutions and activities taking place in various corners and nooks of the Czech Republic. PerformanceBus helps us to make new friendships, experience adventures and find unique artistic activities in places we might not expect to find them.
