Festival of Nothing 2020
Artists all across the Czech Republic are forced to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic each and every day. Many of them are doing their best to help their communities even though their own income is currently second to none: theatres and galleries are closed, concerts cancelled and living off of their online activities cannot grant them survival. We are facing a very real danger that some institutions might simply be wiped off the cultural map. There is, however, a way to support them directly – Hana Třeštíková, a producer and Prague City Councillor has joined forces with GoOut to create the NIC 2020 (Nothing 2020) project.
NIC 2020 is a festival that doesn’t exist. Cultural institutions cannot offer you real experience due to the state of emergency but you can show them your support nonetheless – by buying a ticket for nothing. The symbolic event will take place on the 1st of May, the Czech Day of Love, in collaboration with various cultural organisations across the country.
How does it work? As usual: Choose the event that you want to “attend“ in your favourite venue’s programme. Pick your seat in the booking system (first row, stalls, balcony – as you wish, the better the seat the bigger your donation for your favourite artists). Your ticket is valid for one seat in the venue – the capacity is unlimited so that everyone can join.
