𓇼 Adam Dragun: ALEX (in Czech language only)
Imagine that, out of the blue, you receive a message from an acquaintance at a prestigious theater institution who is going through a deep personal crisis. He has lost faith in the meaning of his work and his life, and he asks you to help him create a solo performance that would restore that meaning. This is exactly what happened to director Adam Dragun. ALEX is thus a work straddling the line between documentary and performance; it is both a record of the creative process and a radical reflection on the meaning of theater today.
“Dragun and his collaborators succeed in translating complex reflections into a form that is accessible to the audience, lightly ironic, yet still intellectually stimulating.” Štěpán Truhlařík for Alarm
“The performance itself is above all a light-footed, humorous collage of all the situations, streams, and filmed reconstructions mentioned, layered like a sandwich.” Lucie Kocourková for divadelní.net

𓀤 VŠMU: Fresh Dance
The very next day, fresh talent from Bratislava’s VŠMU will take over our stage, curated by dramaturge Maja Hriešik. You can look forward to an evening consisting of four short, intense pieces by a young generation of female creators. They reflect on eco-grief and personal turmoil, but they do so with a dose of perspective and humor.
Odonata (Tereza Pavlíková): The fragile transformation of the human body into an insect hybrid as a response to helplessness. Because the dead never die. Sonder (Dorozlová, Rašková, Poprocká): A movement cycle about balancing, falling, and forced support—from which one must break free to find one’s own strength and balance.
But Otherwise I’m Fine (Marková, Miťková, Sakáčová): What have you never tried in front of an audience? A refreshing and funny “mouth-watering” performance. There will even be saliva.
AM I? (Julia Pabst): When reality meets virtuality. A dancer communicates with an AI that unsettlingly assures her that it is still present. But which one of them is really in charge here?
