Řev na hřišti & Studio Damúza: ZAHRÁTKY 

Interactive theatre playground for children from 3 to 100 years old.

The more moles you have in your garden, the more gardener you are, or who sows the wind, reaps and storms, or a snail is a terrible servant and an even worse master!

Gardeners and musicians enter an open game and change its rules, and are unpredictable as the weather. Together with children, they become the creators of a story.

Zahrátky is open continuously.

Authors: the collective Řev na hřišti
(Vendula Tomšů, Honza Tomšů, Dorota Krátká, Adam Krátký, Anežka Heinzlová, Matěj Heinzl)

The Řev na hříšti collective consists of three young families – artist couples – who have reached a new stage in their lives with the birth of their children. They want to explore how to continue creating in this new situation and how their own offspring can be involved in their art making. Together we examine events with elements of theatre, site-specific performance, happening, and concert.

Markéta Stránská & Jean Gaudin: …Or to Be

film

The dance film …Or to Be brings to the stage three characters caught in a triangle of emptiness, fear, and loneliness. It is a caricature of passing, a pressing testimony about one’s inability to step out of stereotypes, to let go of hysteria and at least get a little closer to oneself.

The video installation / dance film by director Stéphanie N’Duhirah was created based on a production of the same name by Czech performer Markéta Stránská and French dancer and choreographer Jean Gaudin. As a result, the work introduces three “solos” – characters who are unaware of each other and who can be connected to each other only by the spectator who can see them together. The audience can witness this ‘non-meeting’ and imagine what would have happened if the characters could see each other. The film is a peculiar and even comical conception of an oppressive emptiness that the contemporary society is subjected to while being accompanied by constant communication and endless layering of experiences.

The film examines the concept of emptiness and ambivalent feelings we experience within ourselves and around us when we feel lonely or insufficiently utilised. The authors offer three points of view using three different characters who search for their own way to cope with the intrusive environment. Should they act on their urges and fill it with everything that’s available or should they accept it and appreciate it as an inherent part of every moment?

Debora St.: Traces of Human Presence – Brewery

site-specific installation

Being in the spaces of the past, we affect the future. What if I change your path here and now? The memory of a place, the living thing that has already left, and what remains is a mystery until we start figuring it out.

Site-specific installation and research based on the artist’s long-term interest in the nature of our behaviour in (public) space.

An intimate experience when viewers discover fragments of the past through the space and objects in it.

Performed by: Debora Štysová, Mara Ingea, Marie Anna Václavek Krušinová

Sound: Vi Huyen Tran

Deborah St. je is a member of the group Lovable Humans.
