This performance takes place at Studio ALTA on November 15th at 11AM, 3PM and 7PM.
Let´s experience the present moment. Let´s taste it. Let´s smell it. Let´s listen to it. Let´s see it. Maybe it will touch us. Eau de Vie is not a performance. Eau de Vie is a shared event. The condition for creating this event is a group, space and the will to experience something together. The moment changes according to the group and space. Two dancers and one musician research the rules of an event, which are ceaselessly changing. The only certainty are the inspirations by Frida Kahlo, Japanese geishas, samurais and haiku. Eau de Vie is a journey. A journey via the others towards ourselves and vice versa.

The main character of this series – Jirka, goes through unexpected situations with foreigners against his will. The series confronts Jirka´s visions of what can happen and what really happens.

Once upon a time, there was one fairy-tale country. It was called Syria. And people used to tell fantastic stories there. For example, the one about a donkey that became a philosopher. During the first part of the workshop led by a Syrian teacher, children will listen to a Syrian fairy-tale in both Czech and Arabic languages. This part will be followed by a fine arts workshop.
This workshop takes place on November 11th on 3PM and it is for children 5-11 years old. The capacity is limited, please register at sejnohova@inbaze.cz.
This workshop is co-organized by Inbáze.
We invite you to a discussion with prominent Czech and foreign female dissidents and activists on November 9th, 7PM at Studio ALTA.
During this debate, different women from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Norway will talk about their values and fates, which led them to an active enforcing of marginalized groups´ lives – refugees, Roma people or children of war, the so-called Lebensborn. They will reveal their personal motivations for fulfilling this mission and what it is about to become a dissident or an oppressed group spokeswoman. The debate will also include a comparison of the situation 25 years ago and now. We will also talk about the differences in the position and feelings of women and men in the oppressed groups and what are women´s advantages and weak spots.
The debate is co-organized by the Association for Integration and Migration.
Exhibition Stages of a Flight: 30.10. – 17.12.
30.10.2017, 6 pm | Vernissage and Performance Dreaming + The Brothers Lionheart
The vernissage started with the performance “Dreaming + The Brothers Lionheart” – a work in progress presenting an excerpt of the upcoming performance.
If it´s not possible in the reality, it will come true in your dreams. Is it true, that for every Lionheart, there is a Nangijála waiting?
In this dance performance based on a book by Astrid Lindgren, children overcome their fears and fulfil their dreams.
The music was created and is played by children themselves. Lenka Tretiagová wrote the script and Sebastián Vích is in charge of lighting design.
Inspired by the topic of the exhibition Studio Alta will create a theater piece in cooperation with Dschungel Wien and the director Lenka Tretiagová with the children of Studio Altik. Therefore the Czech creative team including children performers are participated in a workshop in Vienna, led by Dschungel Wien and choreographer Sanja Troop-Frühwald, dealing with the topic of sleeping and dreaming.
The touring exhibition Stages of a Flight has its first stop at Studio Alta in Prague, October 30th until December 17th. The project aims to bring the stories of people that journalist Nermin Ismail and photographer Simon van Hal encountered on their flight, to a wider public. Starting with the events in Syria, coming through Greece and stopping at the boarders, different people raise their voice and let us have a glance on their fates. The photographer and the journalist accompanied these protagonists on their escape to Hungary, Slovenia, Austria and Germany as well as to Greece and Turkey. The project’s aim is not only to give a face and a voice to refugees, but also to overcome prejudices in order to increase awareness in the society, who is supposed to give these people a new home. The focus is directed on their arrival, on questions of living-together and the enriching transformation our cities are facing.More information the the exhibition: http://living-realities.eu/exhibition/
Choreographers and dancers from Dschungel Wien and Studio Alta Prague met from October 26th till 29th at Brunnenpassage in a free body movement workshop with children from Prague and Vienna. They worked together on the topics of sleeping and dreaming. This workshop was a kick-off for the creation process of “In my dreams I feel free?!”, the dance performance with children by Dschungel Wien, which will be presented at the Vernissage of the travelling exhibition “Stages of a Flight” in Vienna in October 2018. Furthermore, I was an inspiring exchange between the partners in Prague and Vienna at the early stage of the performance development and a important shared experience for the choreographers, dancers and children from both countries.
