The first of them will be the opening of the Culture House Petržalka. The day-long programme will take place on 16 September in the square in front of the entrance to the building. The celebratory event is seen as a gift for spectators and supporters on the occasion of the opening of the 30th season and also as the end of the summer. Admission to the event will therefore be free.

The program is designed for the general public. The small audience will be delighted by the folklore group Hájenka with their theatrical performance Don Šajn and Šašo Ľuboš with his performance, which will be followed by the contemporary circus Cirkus Cirkus with an acrobatic show created directly for the House of Culture. Since the guys from Malalata make nice parties, they cannot miss the 30th anniversary celebrations. The artistic group TRAKT is preparing a spectacular ending in the form of Videommapping on the building of the Mirror Grove – an audiovisual show projected on the building.

“The film opens up several themes about youth and change in our lives. We encounter parents who put too much pressure on their children not only in sport but also in art. Many times, the pressure is associated with fulfilling the parents´ dreams through their children,” says the director of the movie Daniela Sláviková.

“Every one of us goes through a crisis where we search for our new self, a movement towards our personal freedom we all strive for, that´s what Ipanema is about. I believe that everyone can find their own thing in our film and that it can enrich them,” adds the director.

Ester´s character is played by Petra Dubayová, viewers recognize from New Scene Theatre, from Scumbag (Sviňa) movie or from Spievankovo (music group for children, translator´s note). The character of Oliver will be played by Oliver Ruttkay, who played in Inspector Max series or performed in radio plays produced by Radio and Television of Slovakia like Malá nádhera or Načo pôjdem domov.

The script was written by Ema Nemčovičová who studies at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava. Ema was approached by Daniela Sláviková, the director, studying at the Audiovisual Arts Studio in Zlín – the rest of the main crew is from there as well.

Students of three universities come together to make a film.

The shooting will take place in the city of Bratislava. The main location will be Pavol Orszagh Hviezdoslav Theatre which supports this project.

The students are looking for funds for the implementation of the project with the help of a crowdfunding page and have decided to involve young artists from various domains. Rastislav Kubica, a student of design, has painted pictures emanating the energy and the colorful palate of the film. Karolína Paluchová and Betka Bobulová, students at the Department of Intermedia and Digital Media, created prints in the form of limited graphics and staged photographs. You can find the campaign at the Startlab platform.

Students of three universities are part of this project. Young artists from the Academy of Performing Arts, Tomas Bata University and the Academy of Arts in Banská Bystrica.

“Som Rom u som (upre) pro’da barikano. Pro Slovačiko uľiľom, adaj bariľom, peršival man adaj čumidľom, iľom vera, kerav adaj buťi u jekhvar adaj the merava.

Som Rom, dikhav anglal, kerav oda (vaš) anglal amende.

“I am Roma and I am duly proud. I was born in Slovakia, I grew up here, I had my first kiss here, got married, I work here and I am going to die here. I am not ashamed of being Roma, I am not ashamed of my parents or my mother tongue. And that is the reason why I am going to register with the Roma nationality at the population census between the 15^th and 31^st March.

I am Roma, I am looking into the future, I am doing this for us. (English translation)

Tfilos Un Nigunim is a project consisting of the realization of songs by the authorial duo Michal Paľko (music) and Shlomo ben Rivke (poems), which were released in 2018 in the form of a CD by Pavian Records.

The aim of the project is to make the Slovak legacy of Judaism accessible to the widest possible audience in the Slovak language in a modern musical performance between classical music, classical Jewish religious songs and popular music. In addition to translating texts of classical religious songs from Hebrew into Slovak, the Tfilos un Nigunim CD contains for the most part the original poetic work of the Jewish author – Shloma ben Rivke, moving on the interface of classical Judaism (Jewish orthodoxy) and Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism).

Music: Michal Foršt, Miroslav Poprádi, Miloš Valent, Amir Wahba, Michal Paľko, František Kubiš, Jakub Stračina

Sound: Michal Kolárik

The election will complicate an archaeological finding challenging the official state ideology that the country’s oldest nation lives on Earth. In addition, a new airport is to be built at the site, which will finally make it accessible to the hard-to-reach mountain countryside by tourists. The monument, which is also a defender of the history of the nation, seeks to challenge the finding. In addition, a special disease that spreads through insomnia will begin to spread. This means that people have more time to work, they are more active, but at the same time begin to forget, first of all on their experiences and then on the names of things and people. The monument comes with the theory that it is a curse that has invested the goat on the landscape (“a non-religious animal that looks like a devil”) “tethered to the stone” located in the middle of Europe and demanding its sacrifice.
