DOX Centre for Contemporary Art
Poupětova 1, Praha 7
Show on map
The DOX Centre has long not been just a gallery. The Gulliver Airship and the DOX+ multifunction hall have extended not only our physical capacity, but also our programme. Come explore DOX under the direction of our in-house dance troupe, Farm in the Cave, which will show you how dance performances are created on the boundary between a gallery and theatre space.
The modern output of the international Farm in the Cave theatre studio transcends the genres of physical, dance, or musical theatre. The performances of Farm in the Cave come about based on long-term research focused on transferring human experience outside the words and limits of routine understanding. They find it, for example, in minority cultures, music, physical expression, and the atmosphere and facts related to a specific location. Stage performances feature a confrontation between the personal and social perception of the world, leading to a strong experienced shared by both performers and viewers. At the same time, their projects initiate public discussion of often ignored social issues.
The studio was founded in 2002 by Viliam Dočolomanský. Since 2018, Farm in the Cave has been our in-house theatre studio, and is currently performing Always Together!, Sanctuary, and Informers.

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.
Kamila Ženatá: Everything Like at the Dawn of the World
The exhibition will present large-format abstract canvases by the Czech artist Kamila Ženatá, created over the last few years. A constant in her work is the constant search, the desire for knowledge, the effort to get closer to the mystery of human existence and to understand the order of the world.
Pavel Forman: Transforman
The exhibition will present thirty of the latest works by the painter Pavel Forman. The title of the exhibition can be understood as a play on words, referring of course to the artist’s name and at the same time to his favourite forms and approaches, which are in a sense “trans”, i.e. metamorphosing, transitional or mutating.
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.
Czech Hero
The premiere of the 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.
