Bazaar Festival: SATURDAY BAZAAR Part 1

presentations from future performances
performance length: 240 min
The climax of the Bazaar 2016 festival. In two program blocks, short demonstrations and work-in-progress showing from future works on the topic of identity in art and motion will be presented by artists from all over Europe. Their explorations and revelations about the many facets and layers of identity come into focus with varying themes like the need to be alone sometimes, tears, but also childhood associations from rope jumping. Which performances or techniques will develop out of their work? Is it possible to share artistic research? And how can that help us get immersed into the artists’ crazy, absurd or fantastic worlds? Come watch one or both program blocks and let yourself be drawn into a whole Bazaar of possibilities!

SATURDAY BAZAAR TAKES PLACE AT STUDIO ALTA. FESTIVAL PASS IS AVAILABLE ON GOOUT.CZ.

Each program block concludes with a discussion led by Alice Koubová as part of the RespondART project, a year-long project of Studio ALTA in collaboration with the Alfred ve dvoře Theatre, TanzFaktur Cologne and Brottfabrik Bonn. The project’s goal is to lead audiences to an active reception of artists’ work, a better understanding of the world around us, and to a heightened critical awareness.

TICKET FOR THE FIRST PART OF SATURDAY BAZAAR IS VALID FOR THE SECOND PART AS WELL.

The Saturday Bazaar finishes with an afterparty

THIS VERY MOMENT / Jaro Viňarský (SK)
Artistic research presentation / 15 min. / in English

If we stop looking at the stage as if we were separated from what is happening on it, if we stop looking at these acts and movements on the stage as something with hidden meanings and symbols we need to search for in order to determine a message or a reason, if we just simply observe, naked and open, would we not find ourselves in a more natural mode of direct life experience, the value of which is in its freedom to sense, feel, act, and share?

Right here, and now, is there not just ONE of us?
