Farm in the Cave: Together Forever!
4 Apr 2018, 7:00 PM
Senior citizen non-actors co-created Together Forever!, collaborating with company members and performers Hana Varadzinová and Eliška Vavříková, and they all perform in it together as well. The radical step of involving Prague seniors with no previous experience with creating physical theatre on a professional level led to the creation of a community in which the generation gap, the disregard and disdain that old people in the twilight of their lives often experience, disappeared. And so, at least within the scope of the project, a model of discrimination free coexistence was created that is quite uncommon in today’s society.
Together Forever! is the third part in the Night in the City trilogy, that focuses on exposing current themes and topics that contemporary society refuses to deal with, (The first part of the trilogy, Whistleblowers premiered in 2015; the second part Disconnected in 2016). Like the previous parts of the trilogy, Together Forever! is a multilayered stage composition in the borderlands between the genres of movement theatre, video, and documentary.
