Atlas is a subversive chameleon, a multipolar clown with a thousand noses. He is in a constant, massive need for communication and contact with other people, always looking for an opportunity to hold an uncontrolled dialogue. Atlas is just Atlas, a lost myth looking for someone to take their place. He is a dawdling clown searching for meaning in this overloaded world. The encounter with Atlas is not designed as a performance but rather as a multi-day program consisting of open office hours, walks within small groups and a final performative ritual which will contain traces of all the previous encounters.
Atlas: Open office hours
During open office hours, Atlas is welcoming passersby in its improvised office in Studio ALTAs garden. It is a meeting point for spontaneous conversations about social and environmental challenges by using a wide range of creative tools.
In front of the studio ALTA entrance, at the western wing of the Invalidovna building.
Walk with Atlas

Closing performative ritual
Atlas wants to celebrate all the encounters and the knowledge gained and shared during the TEH conference days. Therefore they invite you to their collective ritual.

Florent Golfier is a performer, clown-activist and choreographer. Together with Lukáš Karásek, Marie Gourdain and Zuzana Režná, he founded the performing art collective tYhle, he has co-created nine performances as a choreographer or performer. He has worked with choreographers such as Karine Ponties, Kitt Johnson, Vít Nezval, Linda and Mathias Straub and Ondřej Holba. As an artist, he aims to connect with the fragility we all share, and from which we draw inspiration, honesty and power, and help others to accept it as a precious part of ourselves. Based on this artistic approach, Florent searches for ways to connect initiatives across disciplines in order to work on acknowledgment and clarification of our present and future identities.
In 2021, the project has been financially supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, Prague City Hall, the city of Brno and the State Cultural Fund of the Czech Republic.
