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.
Antidote
Raising voice against the propaganda disrupting the world. Dakh Daughters does not stand silent in the face of the current threats, but raises a vibrant voice. They offer their music, poetry, and theatre as an antidote to all willing to listen with their hearts and resist the lies intended to distort reality. It is part of the Prague Crossroads Festival.
Current 93
An extraordinary double concert by the legendary project Current 93, held on the occasion of David Tibet’s solo exhibition. Current 93 has for decades created a unique space at the intersection of apocalyptic nursery – rhymes, poetry, mysticism, dreams, and sonic playgrounds.
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.
David Tibet: Hallucinate, Children
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.
Thin Skin
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
The Argus & Medusa exhibition shows how the work The Raft of the Medusa (1818–1819) by the French artist Théodore Géricault sparks the imagination of contemporary visual artists, thus reflecting the reality of today’s world. A moment between hope and despair.
