Premiere: Zombies Art Back (a.k.a. When We Dead Awaken), by Ján Šimko
Fabian, an ageing theatre critic, spent his days at the Miloš Alexander Bazovský Museum in Trenčín, where he waged a deeply personal battle with the idea of perfection while standing before the painting The Last Keškáš. Until one day, the museum closed for renovation—and Zombies emerged from its foundations. This unsettling event thrust the fading […]

Premiere of the dance performance As the fairy sings, Simone Sandroni (IT)
As the fairy sings It was never meant to be a fairytale. Light design: Jan Beneš by slovak folk tales – about the illusion of guidance, dependency, and an entity who refuses to be anyone’s salvation. Set in a fluid landscape where darkness and light dissolve into one unstable terrain, the piece follows a solitary […]
Dogma Theatre: Binding Output
A picturesque stage collage featuring one actor and his shadow. A mixture of nondescript words, false emotions and a performance that leads nowhere. Meaning gets lost in insignificance, while the motives behind the actions remain unclear. A disco of ego and pathological manifestations on the forced boards that represent the so-called world. Theatre as a […]
Children’s Theatre Performance: Teatr Klinika Lalek (PL) – Gulliver’s Travels
A family performance that works just as well for adults: a large puppet, a big story, and plenty of imagination under the open sky. A Polish ensemble brings a format that is accessible, yet visually striking and artistically precise. In this open-air performance, an oversized story of Gulliver’s Travels comes to life, creating a fascinating […]
Dance Performance Silvia Buranovská (Sviteková): DYCHOTÉKA
Ballroom dance has long been considered a cultivated form of social interaction. It creates space for eye contact, the touch of hands, closeness, shared steps, and gestures. Beyond its energy and structure, it also reflects a stereotypical view of the male–female pair, with its hierarchical. An unusual combination of brass band music and dance performance. […]

Contemporary circus Younák
Younák Younák is an original contemporary circus performance that blends, with humor, the power of physical theatre, acrobatics, live folklore, and music into one pulsating whole. It draws inspiration from legends of the iconic outlaw of the Slovak mountains, yet it does not offer a traditional retelling of his story. Instead, it presents a timeless […]
