A Syrian refugee seeking respite from war in Lebanese exile receives a mysterious offer that will allow him to gain the freedom he craves and find his lost love. But in the hands of a world-renowned artist, his back must be transformed into a work of art that will make him think more than ever about the definitions of happiness and personal freedom. A provocative reflection on the role of modern art that crosses the borders and walls of the modern world's galleries.

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.

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.



Anthony Braxton: Trillium X

Opera World Premiere. Anthony Braxton's ambitious multimedia opera project Trillium has been in the making since the 1990’s. The American experimental musician and unique improviser explores in it themes of metaphysics, mysticism, and human consciousness.

More than an hour-long mixture of music, picture and light was created by a group of seven leading Czech jazz composers together with an iconic Norwegian composer Helge Sunde. The Concept Art Orchestra is a foremost Czech big band, with a unique line-up for this occasion including a string quartet and electronics.
