It is summer 1962, and England is still a year away from huge social changes - Beatlemania, the sexual revolution and the Swinging Sixties. We first encounter Florence (Ronan) and Edward (Howle), a young couple in their early twenties, on their wedding day. Now on their honeymoon, they are dining in their room at a stuffy, sedate hotel near Chesil Beach in Dorset, where one of them makes a major decision that will utterly change both of their lives forever.

Adapted by Ian McEwan from his bestselling novel, the drama centers on a young couple of drastically different backgrounds in the summer of 1962. Following the pair through their idyllic courtship, this movie explores sex and the societal pressure that can accompany physical intimacy, leading to an awkward and fateful wedding night.

The Pain of Others

How is it possible to mediate unimaginable suffering to those who have not experienced it themselves? The Pain of Others exhibition project aims to reflect on art’s ability to speak of war, violence, and conflict, and, more importantly, on our (in)ability to relate through art to the horrors of war and the pain of those affected by it.


No Sentiment

For some he was a “legend,” a “demon,” and a maverick of the Czech art scene, but for most people he was a painter only little known. Exhibition of Tomáš Měšťánek is s tribute to a “voluntary outsider” of the Czech art scene and his paintings full of poetry without sentiment.


HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

Art as a cure for human vices, the confession of the artist as healer and hundreds of "drawings" in an impressive installation. The diary of Kristof Kintera is here for you. And how can it help you?


Point of View

The world is a place that originates and exists largely in our imaginations. How do we imagine a place for art? And what should it look like for learning? The point of view is a space of uncertainty but also of new experience; a space that shows potential of stereotypes, fear, making mistakes, and changing mind-sets.


Fresh Memories: The Look

Can you look into the eyes of those whose homes have been destroyed by war? Fresh Memories: The Look, a short Czech-Ukrainian film, transports viewers through virtual reality to bombed-out Kharkiv. Here, they come face to face with locals affected by the war.


Together Forever!

Fragments of an absurd mother-daughter relationship appear in a kaleidoscope of situations from other lives lived without recognizing their sense and direction, between fun and powerlessness, narcissism and fear of death.



The Ritual of Cursed Hearts

Jan Vytiska‘s largest exhibition to date, presenting his paintings from the previous three years. The exhibition presents almost forty large-scale paintings. Thematically, it is still based on a distinctive mix of Wallachian folklore and pop culture references.


Riley: In C & Young: Composition 1960

Jazz, indické rágy, psychedelické drogy, webernovský serialismus, japonské gagaku, cageovský přístup k tichu a náhodě, to vše ovlivnilo tvorbu La Monte Younga i Terryho Rileyho. Nenechte si ujít tento vícesmyslový zážitek v rámci festivalu Prague Music Performance.


In a Moment

Luboš Soukup, one of our finest saxophonists, will perform his new composition for an unconventional ensemble combining the Radio Symphony and the jazz Concept Art Orchestra during this special evening.

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. The performers' dynamic movement, the pulse of live music, and disturbing images together create an unusual insight into the digital darkness that most of us are – perhaps intentionally – unaware of.
