Show on the map
Under the nickname Al Weat 812 hides the occasional artist and leader of the family publishing house Kunkava. It produces picture books, comics and games in small editions, intended only for the immediate reading public and not for the book market.
The artist does not bind books for the sake of beauty in itself, does not adapt to the supply and demand for contemporary books, but works with them in their original mission as a means of communication and an influential medium. It comes from a real need to spontaneously create in one's own way, together with friends and children, and in the current invasion and mirage of beautiful dead books, it acts as a real oasis.

Alžběta Tichá: Frekvence
Frequency explores the complex relationship between body, mind, and technology. What happens when we feel nothing at all? And what happens when we go through extreme physical and emotional roller coasters? Alžběta Tichá creates an intimate and dynamic picture of human perception and emotions.
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.
Israel & Mohamed
Exceptionally sensitive production showing that in mutual relations, differences can be just as important as common traits. Together, under the spellbound gaze of their fathers, they seek a common language based on the body, its wounds and its scars. It is part of the Prague Crossroads Festival.
Obsedancia
Strange beings and small obsessions inhabit an absurdly beautiful world, inspired by David Lynch, created by theater ensemble Farm in the Cave. The first performance will take place as part of the Bread & Dance festival.
Liberté [trigger warning]
A production by Georgian theater director Data Tavadze exploring the power of language, how shame becomes a tool of control, and how propaganda contaminates the collective consciousness. It is part of the Prague Crossroads Festival.

An exhibition showcasing the visual work spanning the entire career of one of the most prominent figures in the esoteric and experimental underground scene of recent decades, David Tibet.
