ACCOMPANYING PROGRAMME – TUESDAY 26. 9.

10:00 – 12:00, DAB – Studio / Youth Theatre: Divorce – Public Matter. ND Young – Prague National Theatre and The Dezider Kardoš Private Conservatory in Topoľčany (CZ, SK) TICKETS HERE
Human and political relationships arise, culminate, dissolve, and then reconcile. The story, full of images, jokes and documentary footage from television, opens with a video conference to which the European Union summoned the late Czech and Slovak greats Štúr, Lasica, Masaryk, Havel and others to start solving the crisis in mutual relations. The two nations have ceased understanding each other, so an experiment is carried out. A group of Czechs and a group of Slovaks suddenly find themselves in an unidentifiable space and do not know what to do there. Rivalry arises and “Czechoslovak heaven” sends them various proposals for reconciliation. The participants – 8 from the Czech Republic and 7 from Slovakia – were selected for the research and creative project based on an open call. The Slovak group is from The Dezider Kardoš Private Conservatory in Topoľčany, which is a project partner, while the Czech group consists of young people from all over the Czech Republic. Together they went through a complex process of discovery and creation.
After the performance (80 min.), there will be a discussion on the 30th anniversary of the dissolution of the Czechoslovakia.

Bruno and Samo. They were in the same class for 9 years. They made friends and talked a lot … about dragons, LEGO, policemen and so on … Then they joined the same theatre company. Afterwards, they no longer were with the same company and they stopped talking. Then they stopped being friends. Then everything changed. Now there is a joint production. Full of authentic and tragicomic dialogues that once took place and with other people; nursery rhymes and games, or opinions about parents, and impromptu conversations that take both protagonists out of their comfort zone. Authors’ project uses texts from the Markéta Bláhová play Trap (Pastička). Every year, the drama groups from The Jozef Rosinský Elementary School of Art in Nitra feature, to high acclaim, in the Youth Theatre programme section within the accompanying programme at Divadelna Nitra.
