“Darling, this is Younes. Yesterday he was my nephew, today he is our son.“

Younes' life is changed forever when his poverty-stricken parents surrender him to the care of his more affluent uncle. Re-named Jonas, he grows up in a colourful colonial Algerian town, and forges a unique friendship with a group of boys, an enduring bond that nothing – not even the Algerian Revolt – will shake. He meets Emilie – a beautiful, beguiling girl who captures the hearts of all who see her –
and an epic love story is set in motion.

Time and again Jonas is forced to to choose between two worlds: Algerian or European; past or present; love or loyalty, and finally decide if he will surrender to fate or take control of his own destiny at last.

What the Day Owes the Night is based on the eponymous novel by Mohammed Moulessehoul, formerly a high ranking officer in the Algerian army, who adopted a literary pseudonym Yasmina Khadra to avoid Algerian military censorship. He went to live in exile in France in 2000. The following year he published L'écrivain, an autobiographical novel, in which he reveals his true identity.

He is the author of The Attack, The Swallows of Kabul, In the Name of God, The Sirens of Baghdad and Wolf Dreams, among others. Yasmina Khadra is the recipient of the Grand Prix de Littérature the Henri Gal granted by the French Academy and the Légion d’honneur awarded by the Republic of France for his work as a novelist.

Based on the novel by Yasmina Khadra
directed by Alexandre Arcady, 2012

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.


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.



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.


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?


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. 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.

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.


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.


Is this the end?
No, it's the beginning.
