Centre for Contemporary Performing Arts

A performance based on playing with media and a combination of various theatrical approaches. Personal testimonies, video art, choreography, music, and a changing scene are a playground for three performers and one commentator. The theme of the performance is determined by the question: How do young Russians living in the Czech Republic cope with the Czech historical complex caused by the invasion of August 1968? The show does not attempt another tedious analysis of the events of 1968. It does not seek the culprits in an attempt to pillory them. The year 1968 in the performance is a context for the emotional expression of shared trauma. The stage is a space where memory can be recovered, relativizing stereotypes, destroying clichés, and disrupting patterns. Together to follow the path outlined by prejudices, myths, love, hate, fear and courage.
