Information
This April edition of Performance Bus is created in curatorial collaboration with Terén – the Field for Performing Arts and introduces audiences to the vibrant spaces and collectives of independent culture in South Moravia.
Together with the Lofofora collective, we will embark on a performative walk through the countryside. We will visit part of a one-day festival organized by the Brno-Zlín collective, which works with DIY principles in unconventional festival formats. We can look forward to a collaborative concert by sound artists from the Department of Sonology in Hague and an installation by Eva Jaroňová at the Castle Mill in Lomnice.
In Znojmo, we will visit GaP / Galerie a Prostor and see a performance by choreographer Anna Wańtuch, who has been living here for a long time, in a public space. In an improvisation inspired by Ksenia Makała‘s project Azyl, she works with a large plastic sheet as a refuge that both protects and restricts. Choreography and everyday gestures reveal the tension between body and object and explore asylum as a relationship of care.
We will also step into the studio SVITAVA transmedia art lab of sound and media artist, experimenter, builder, and composer Jiří Suchánek. His practice focuses on creating sound-light installations and systems, often interactive and situated in natural or public spaces. He combines sound, light, objects, mechanics, electronics, and coding with carefully chosen environments, frequently incorporating natural, chaotic, and thermodynamic processes into the generation and control of emerging musical and light patterns.
Our journey will conclude at the independent cultural centre Rello in Brno with a concert and a community dinner.

Performance Bus is a magical journey we are embarking on for the ninth time, led by our driver Mr. Marcel. It is a vehicle for directing our attention toward diverse independent platforms dedicated to performance art and cultural activities unfolding across various corners — and hidden corners — of the Czech Republic. With every journey, we aim to build new friendships, experience adventure, and discover singular artistic practices in places where we might not expect to find them.
