Avoid the mundane
KAFKAesque
The exhibition KAFKAesque focuses on reflections on Kafka’s work and poetics in contemporary visual art offering not a historical perspective of his work, but a view that reflects our present-day situation with all its complexities and ambiguities.
Melancholy of the Outer Limits
The exhibition Melancholy of the Outer Limits presents, for the first time in its entirety, an extensive body of paintings created over the last ten years. Filled with faceless people lost in the ruins of cities, these paintings are a mirror of the artist's own soul.
Point of View: Identity
Another instalment of the long-term project, which combines the format of an exhibition and a classroom and focuses on the theme of human identity. Who am I? What am I? The human form naturally takes centre stage; the body, its clothing, its behaviour. A person's identity and the different ways of looking at it.
Adam Štech: houellebecq!
The exhibition houellebecq! by Adam Štech is neither a tribute to the French writer Michel Houellebecq nor an illustration of his works. Nor does it attempt to interpret or explain anything of his texts. Štech explores primarily himself, mediated in any way.
Festival FALL
The second year of the FALL festival brings together writers, poets, visual artists, and other creative minds working across different genres to discuss and celebrate the power of literature, storytelling, art, and our need for empathy in the digital age.
Al Weat 812: Kunkava intervenes!
Under the nickname Al Weat 812 hides the occasional artist and leader of the family publishing house Kunkava. Her work is exhibited in the Fine Art Archive.
Recycliterature
An open art workshop for adults and children aged four and up where we will breathe new life into discarded printed materials.
The Glory of Life – premiere
Czech premiere of a surprisingly "un-Kafkaesque" film portrait of Franz Kafka's last romance. The screening will take place as part of the FALL festival.
Take Nitka on a Walk
An open family workshop for big and small; recommended for children aged nine and up or younger children with a guardian.
Goodbye KAFKAesque!
Closing of this year's FALL festival and KAFKAesque exhibition. The soloists of the BERG Orchestra will perform Steve Reich's Different Trains and Gideon Lewensohn's Odradek.
Music is: Les Percussions de Strasbourg
The Music is festival will open with a concert in the DOX+ by the top French ensemble Les Percussions de Strasbourg. They will present "Eight Inventions" and "Eight Ricercars" by Miloslav Kabeláč.
Ondřej Pivec & Kennedy Administration
In the DOX+, SOČR will present a concert by Czech jazz musician Ondřej Pivec, who is one of the few to have succeeded in establishing himself on the American music scene, together with American vocalist Kennedy.
Czech Hero
Satirical physical theater production Czech Hero by the theatre ensemble Farm in the Cave, which focuses on the contemporary and pressing topic of disinformation and political marketing. Movement, words, live music, dynamics, energy, exaggeration. All this in the DOX+ hall.
Essential Sciarrino+
The Ostrava New Music Centre returns to the DOX+ hall with another contribution to the Essential concerts series. This year's edition will focus on the exceptional work of the Italian avant-gardist, composer of uncompromising and fragile music Salvatore Sciarrino.
Commander
The unique production combines a physical theatre performance with live music and a film starring child actors of Farm in the Cave studio to communicate an urgent, yet widely overlooked, topic – the online radicalisation of youth.
