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.

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.
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.
Disappearing Man
A reflection, through music and dance, on the constant need for stimulation and escape and the simultaneous search for the present moment. An intimate double bill of dancer Andrej Štěpita and musician Štěpán Janoušek presents an original solo project by two distinctive members of Farm in the Cave theatre ensemble.

A performance by established circus acrobat Eliška Brtnická and her hypnotic production Thin Skin at the interface of movement installation and contemporary circus in the spaces of the DOX Centre.
Argus & Medusa: On Hope in Dark Times
