Plody Ostružiny Fest

Plody Ostružiny is a week-long celebration of the association’s 5th birthday. During the week of September 21-26, 2021, we will present all of our current performances for children and adults, including an accompanying programme. Friday and Saturday’s programme is also presented as part of Deafember—Hearing Impaired Persons Month—and so our shows, The Carnival of the Animals and Goats Horsing Around will be presented in a version for deaf audiences for the first time.

We’ll begin picking the fruits on Tuesday, September 21 at 17:00 with a family lab SouHra, which we’ll perform in the LV&C Studio 8 space. Physics class lovers and haters alike are invited to Ponec Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 23 at 10:00 for Dance and Physics. On Friday, Sept. 24, enjoy the The Carnival of the Animals and on Saturday, Sept. 25, Goats Horsing Around, both at 17:00 in Ponec Theatre. On Sunday, Sept. 26 at 16:00, we’ll air the premiere of The Complex Galaxy Speaking Out Loud at Kampa Park. Sunday’s program then continues in ALTA studio with an audio version of DIFFERENT?

For the weekend we have prepared for you, in addition to the performances, an accompanying programme:

On Saturday morning, it will be Pink Training with the phenomenal Italian duo Segni mossi, which we have prepared for professionals in the dance, art and education fields in collaboration with the artistic association ZDRUHESTRANY and ALTA studio. On Saturday afternoon there will be a screen printing workshop with art themes by Tereza Říčanová in PONEC theatre from 15:30 and after the performance of Goats Horsing Around there will be a book signing and the opportunity to buy the newly published children’s book, KRÁVA ŘÍČANOVÁ (ŘÍČANOVÁ’s COWS).

You are invited to join in a game about what can and can’t be seen. Come with your children, parents, family members and relatives. Your fellow players will be your imagination and creativity and Bára, Zdenka, Jan and Václav—wear loose, comfortable clothing to move around in.

Each participant becomes a witness to the consequences of their own decisions. It is an important moment—it is the audience together with the performers who create a shared experience.

Can dance be defined as a simple back and forth movement in the gravitational field?

“Gravity is a fundamental force of nature, a very attractive one. It sculpts the Universe, it warps space and time. It is thanks to the powers of gravity that we are able to live on the planet Earth as well as to discover outer space. And because of gravity, we can even change our understanding of the Universe.” say the authors of the performance.

The performance playfully interacts with principles of physics and thus stages its laws as a real, tangible physical experience.

How does a cow dance? 

The production is inspired by illustrator Tereza Říčanová’s real cow Málina and Bára Látalová’s desire to appear in one of Tereza’s books. 

The cow is a huge animal, a warm, panting body, a friend. Everyday life with her became such a powerful experience for Tereza that her brush and paper were no longer enough, and gradually they started to create a theatre show about and for the cow. An original duet was born, a dialogue between animal and human, performer and audience, artist and dancer. 

The performance is dedicated to Málina, who went to cow heaven in autumn 2020.

Screen printing workshop in the foyer of the theatre from 15:30 h with motives by Tereza Říčanová.
After the performance a book signing of the newly published children’s book, KRÁVA ŘÍČANOVÁ, Baobab
