THE FINAL KILOMETRE TO OPENING IS AHEAD. WILL YOU RUN IT WITH US?
HELP US GET OVER THE FINISH LINE — SUPPORT US THROUGH OUR DONIO FUNDRAISER.
After three years of transforming an old brewery into a cultural centre, ALTA is finally close to opening its doors. The space is almost finished, our program is set, we’ve booked artists from the Czech Republic and abroad, and we’ve established collaborations with ensembles, associations, and other organizations — we just need to complete the final adjustments and secure approval. We are raising funds to bridge the gap between opening to the public and completing the reconstruction.
European Heritage Days – guided tours at Studio ALTA
As part of European Heritage Days, we’re opening our doors! We’ll guide you through the former brewery, invite you inside and show you how this historic building is being transformed into Studio ALTA – a centre for the performing arts and movement. We’ll talk about the past, what’s happening here now, and the journey towards our long-held dream – the opening of Studio ALTA. From brewery to cultural centre – come and visit a little-known historic site in Libeň, which has a bright new era ahead of it. To round off the experience, you can look forward to a dance solo performed by Temporary Collective.
Temporary Collective: Solos for ALTA
The youngest members of the Temporary Collective – David Králík and Emma Fiala, known as Temporary YOUNG – explore personal and artistic sustainability through movement and gesture in their performances. Their solo pieces for ALTA is a special event forming part of the guided tours of the former brewery in Libeň, the new home of Studio ALTA.

DetailUfftenživot: Wonderland
What did I really want? What do I need? Can it be traced or figured out? How much effort do we have to make in today’s fast-paced life to consciously stop for a moment and devote ourselves to ________ (fill in as you wish)? Wonderland as a setting, a state of mind. Sára Arnstein as the main star of her smartphone — and of Ufftenživot’s performance about how our phones have become our best (non)friends. Don’t scroll, come!

DetailFemini: Stories Carried by Old Waters – Chapter Prague
The fact that we are made of water means that we belong somewhere. When we drink a glass of tap water, we are connected not only to the sewer system that crisscrosses Prague, but also to the dammed-up Želivka River—with all its history and inhabitants. A walk-lecture-performance dedicated to water, rivers, and the Rokytka.
DetailFinal Artist to Artist meeting: sharing artistic practice
Are you looking for a platform where you can share your artistic practice without the pressure of self-presentation? Curious about what others are currently working on?
Join us at Artist to Artist, regular peer-to-peer gathering for artists primarily working in the performing arts and related fields. Together, we share our practices, experiences, doubts, and the questions we are dealing with right now.
You can join once or return repeatedly – the level and form of participation is entirely up to you. This is not a workshop or a lecture by a single person, but a shared platform: each session is shaped by what participants want to open up and explore together.

Geile Zeit Studios: Geile Zeit 4
A magician, a compulsive jogger, a stone — and we have been here for a while now. It is about building, and building again. About a question that lies within human behavior: why do we keep building the next thing? Site-specific performance from the House Under the Stars residency.
DetailSimulakrum: SYNESTHETIC FLESH
Synesthetic Flesh embodies the essence of collective sensuality, an immersive and hyperreal journey during which participants are carried into alternative worlds through repetitive movement, the interplay of sound, and light.

The “Heart Dances” workshop, led by dancer and choreographer Lenka Vořechovská, will focus on a somatic and dance-based exploration of the heart and its metaphorical and physical significance.

DetailAlica Minar & col.: PRACTICES OF EMPATHY ~ workshop
Weekend workshop led by Alica Minar explores practices of empathy. How close can two bodies dance without touching? What tension, curiosity, or vibration emerges in the space between them? Literal and metaphorical touch enters as both risk and invitation: sensing heat through inner radar, melting into another body, offering ourselves as landscapes that shall be respected, held, and shared. Skin becomes a porous threshold where self meets the other. What happens when the limit is challenged, what kind of embrace does this process entail?
Eva Priečková: I want to keep my grief warm
A lecture/performance on sharing resources related to death and grief. Grief has become a fascination of mine, and as Francis Weller suggests, I would rather keep it warm so that it can move than let it become a sediment in my soul.
DetailEva Priečková, Zuzana Žabková: Crying Girls
The “crying girl” stereotype often evokes hypersensitivity or emotional overload, yet crying can also be an act of power, vulnerability, radical honesty, or release after an emotional peak. Crying Girls embodies this through women in their late thirties who are reliving their girlhood in bodies subject to decay, while referencing the uncompromising spirit of Thelma and Louise. The work was developed by Eva Priečková and Zuzana Žabková as a continuation of their long-term collaboration on a trilogy exploring the female body, vulnerability, decay, and transformation (Bodies in Trouble, 2018; Weak Women, 2023).
