From 5 PM, you can meet the authors of the performance and take a closer look at the scenography, materials, and objects used in their work. You can also meet the members of Terén.
7 PM marks the start of an artist talk and discussion with PYL collective and Michal Kindernay moderated by Jakub Liška, editor of Cedit magazine. You can attend this discussion physically or watch an online stream.
In the artist talk section, the authors are going to introduce their personal approaches to creative processes and methods of collaboration in the PYL collective. This includes the topics of scenic space, materiality, technologies, play and playfulness, symbols, intuition and coexistence between people and objects.
PYL is an international collective of artists who devise together in the field of postdramatic theatre, visual arts, sound and intermedia. Their practice explores the borders of anthropocentric perception in a dialog with objects and ironic attempts to grasp nonhuman agency. Through application of DIY methods, recycling and compilation principles, the group develops its own visual language, which extends the meanings of scenography far beyond the theatre stage. Their works shift cultural codes, contexts and origins of regular things, while transforming objects to beings and beings to objects. Sensitivity towards the dailiness, sharing moments and personal experiences in non-linear and playful ways transmit on the group's associative approach on coworking process.
