Dear Festival Audience, we would like to announce a change in the program.

The performance of the Israeli theater Michal Svironi, WHITE CARD, will not take place due to the complex political situation, as a result of which all flights from Israel have been canceled and the troupe had to withdraw their participation in our festival.

We are sorry, and we express our support to all those affected in Israel and the Middle East.

On October 4th at 7:00 p.m., there will be a replacement performance by Odivo Theater, SUBMERGED. We thank our colleagues for their flexibility and understanding.

You are warmly invited!

 

Audiovisual (re)performance.

A dive into the theme of the urgent need for care. Three breaths. Three breath holds. The rumbling of the undercurrents. Transferring authentic life experience into the principles of freediving. How long can the body last without breath, and the mind without rest? What different forms can the care for a close person take?

A performance about touches that ripple the surface, about minutes that blend into routine tasks, and about details that remain anchored in memory. The work incorporates the principle of re-performance – the care for each specific performance can be taken on by a different performer, lending their physical body and becoming a co-author. Each dive is therefore unique.
