HÁDY – Touching the Past

The fact that in Brno the Realm of the Dead is situated above the city does not imply that paradise is located below the city. Looking for it is our lifelong destiny. Is paradise in the truth or the truth in paradise? The original theatre script based on Sylvia Richter’s novel “Let Everything Reach its Place” (Ať každá věc dospěje na své místo) tells a story that both is and is not about living in the communist regime.

    Physical theatre

    Performance Sutura is a graduate project by Michal Nagy, student of the Physical Theater Department JAMU. Sutura was made in cooperation with Irina Andreeva and Teatr Novogo Fronta. Sutura is a dance performance with strong visuality. The initially chosen topic of the project is seam/suture. A sufficiently broad topic, at the same time visually strong. Each of us will certainly imagine our own seam created or once seen in the head under the seam. But when we think about it, we also discover other types and forms of seams. A seam not only on clothes but a seam (ie suture) on a human skull, a stitch on the skin or simply a joint - of which there are many around us in everyday life. Watch for FREE

    Monodrama

    "Trains, such a conventionality ..." The generally popular appropriation of characters from the literary canon always ends by looking at their story as a fact. Fact influenced by our court. Let's treat ourselves to an unconventional trial and reconstruct Anna Karenina's personal story only on the basis of the question - "Guilt or innocence?". it depends on your decision, it doesn't matter if he really jumps under the train, it just depends on your final trial. (* Predestination = before destination = what happened before she left for the station.) Watch for FREE

    Monodrama

    A small voice acting monodrama between headphones and microphones. Young actress Bára comes into a voice acting studio. However, she has only half an hour, during which she needs to understand much more complicated facts than the naive relationship between the romantic Genevieve and the animal Guillaume. But because Bara is so complicated inside, so confused and broken that she'll probably never put the puzzle together... Every girl needs her own “Gijóm”, but the picture of reality and the reality itself sometimes doesn't meet. And suddenly one has a feeling that has ended up at the endless journey during a blind tunnel and the end is somewhere in sight. Watch for FREE

    Multiscreen play

    A play titled Isolation no. 250 narrates about a girl who enrolled in a scientific experiment voluntarily. This experiment deals with a thesis, claiming that a human being can live without social contact. The girl wants to close up to the entire world. She chooses it as a form of her escape. She suffers from isolation, though. At the end of the play, she commits suicide. After that, the viewer figures out that she was only one of many. The scientist instructs to clean up the room and to contact subject number 251. Watch for FREE

    Monodrama

    "You know when you have too much going on?" An escape from reality through play, escape to the theatre, escape to the room, escape to the chamber. Three levels of human beings. The wolf can walk among them and is always where you don't expect him. A monodrama about struggling to deal with the overcrowding of the material and intangible world. About a need to find a quiet place in it and within yourself and find your way back to the natural experience of emotions, instead of suppressing them in favour of performance and subsequent anxiety. Treat yourself to a little peace. Watch for FREE
