>>>>>26 – 28 July<<<<<
„(Not) My Story. (Not) My Song.” The workshop will take place in the Chaloupka Centre in Praha, Prokopské údolí (you can come on 25th July already)
„On creating our performances we have often worked on stories, told tu us by people who have experienced wars, suffering, crisis. Their stories, althought they concern heavy matters, do not blackmail us emotionally. Quite the contrary, they are the source of strength, hope, faith in life and man. It was so with the Ukrainians, Chechens, Sirians, Kurds. It is like that with song. We tried to discover what it is, what stands behind it. We shall not (because we can not) teach such a thing; we want to work together to develop what we have already discovered, namely the process leading to a certain kind of life wisdom. Everyone will choose, out of the texts and songs we prepared, those with which he or she will want to work with. We shall work sharing our observations and experiences during our meetings. Finally, we will combine the particular stories into a partly improvised performance. We are planning to show this performance during the other part of the Village at the end of September. Run by: David Zelinka, Kamila Kutálková
