Introducing this year's program!
The language of the festival is English.
There are also two Czech shows of leading Czech improvisers - they will be in Czech for your authentic feeling.
Look what we have prepared for you;)
Festival warm-up
In a specific space of the Attic at cross club, there will be artists presented for whom improvisation is more than the final theatrical form, but rather the principle of creation - the exploration of the subject - the research - the search for borders and the way to overcome them. The results and methods of long-term work and research will be performed by the Czech ensemble Loco:Motion Company and Polish dancer and choreographer Małgorzata Haduch.
Part of the evening will be a discussion of how to get to the theme through dance and movement expressions - how to lead a dialogue and how to uncover the hidden.
