Haribo Kimchi
South Korean theater artist Jaha Koo is coming to the Prague Crossroads Festival with an exceptional multi-genre production combining music, hi-tech video, and robotic actors. He reflects on cultural assimilation with all its problems and paradoxes, serving up personal stories marinated in a sweet-and-sour marinade of melancholy, awakening all our senses in the process.
Eva Švankmajerová: Woe to the Painting…
The exhibition presents the full range of the work of Eva Švankmajerová, a leading artist of the Czech surrealist movement. The fundamental themes of her work, which she approached with relentless irony and emancipatory zeal, included the female body and the fate of women in a society dominated by men.
PLI
Viktor Černický's solo production at the intersection of dance, physical theatre, and the visual arts which delivers a visually compelling study of balance, endurance, and creativity.
Refuge
They're on their way. Out of fear. No guarantees. Three people cross paths on the run. Bound to each other, they traverse territories of anxiety, courage, failure and compassion. They seek refuge in a world that doesn't care for them.
