  • Comenius Square comes alive

    Comenius Square comes alive

    Comenius Square is a tiny joint behind the historic building of the Slovak National Theater, which OZ TRAKT in cooperation with the city of Bratislava modified and designed elements for revitalization of this public space. So that it belongs to the inhabitants of the city and brings culture and relaxation to the city center. Hand in hand with the Green Patrol we cleaned this space first and then created a concept that will revive this former parking lot.

    You can look forward to a cultural program from local artists, as well as a table tennis tournament, dance workshops and children’s theaters. Refreshments will be provided by two local food trucks offering fresh street food.

    If you would like to enrich this space with your own activities, please contact us and we will be happy to include you in the creative programming process.

  • Tfilos Un Nigunim

    Tfilos Un Nigunim

    A unique evening in the sign of Jewish culture, which is important, but often omitted in our cultural part of our cultural heritage.

    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).
