Information

Welcome in Jáchymov/Sankt Joachimsthal! This forgotten, cursed but also charming city helped the American dollar gain its strength, Marie Curie to win the Nobel Prize and the former Soviet Union to gain many bombs.

But Jáchymov doesn´t mean only great suffering, concentration camps or death by radiation, but also healing springs, scientific progress, winter sports, relax and international tourism. Dramaturge Guido Preuss and choreographer Karel Vaněk are therefore setting off on a search for the sources of power, in order to create a “dance monument” for Jáchymov.

Concept: Guido Preuß

Choreography: Karel Vaněk in cooperation with the performers

Performed by: Michelle Cheung, Iorhanne Da Cunha, Guido Preuß, Tobias Weikamp

Musical coaching: Guido Preuß

Costumes: Melanie Riester

Lighting design: Markus Becker

Produced by: Tanzwerke Vaněk Preuß, Brotfabrik Bühne Bonn, ALT@RT, Theater Felina Areal Mannheim

Supported by: the state of North Rhine-Westphalia within the Kooperationsförderung, the City of Bonn, the Czech-German Future Fund, the City of Mannheim, the state of Baden-Würtenberg.

RespondART is a year-long project of Studio ALTA in cooperation with theatres Alfred ve dvoře (Prague), Tanzfaktur (Cologne, Germany) and Brottfabrik (Bonn, Germany). During the project, these four theatres will show several socially engaged performances followed by discussions with the artists and experts on the presented subjects. The aim of the project is to initiate and reinforce active reception of performing arts, better understanding of today´s world and own critical thinking.

Project was supported by Czech-German Future Fund.
