“We are curious, everything fascinates us, if we don’t know something we quickly come up with something, but we still haven’t been able to figure out one thing, but maybe we can find a solution with you.” The current movement production brings improvised stories that invite you into an imaginary world. The theme of the production supports fantasy, imagination and opens up the world of visual imagination.

Reprisals of Radoslav Piovarči’s works

akjetam — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 13:07:33 +0000

The original artistic work of Radoslav Piovarči (TRAKT) will be presented in the period from August 2022 to June 2023. The productions CHARON and JUST ASK HER. will be presented successively on the territory of the Slovak Republic.

CHARON

17 Aug 2022 at the festival Tanečnô in Námestovo

15. 11. 2022 at MOVE Ostrava, Janáček Conservatory in Ostrava.

JUST ASK HER

7 Sep 2022 Prešov, in cooperation with Wave, Regional Museum Prešov

18. 11. 2022 ART GANG, Studio of Dance Theatre, Banská Bystrica

April 2023, Bratislava (planned performance)

July 2023, Košice (planned performance)

The project focuses on the presentation of Radoslav Piovarči’s authorial productions in the district towns, but also in the villages. The productions use the language of contemporary dance, but above all they reflect essential themes such as gender equality, moral attitude to death and active survival. The works were created in complicated years – Charon 2021, JUST ASk HER. 2022, when interest in culture was declining, but there was nevertheless great interest and demand for attendance of the productions.With the support of the Arts Support Fund, as well as its own resources, more than 15 performances have been staged in recent years.

After this experience of presenting works in different spaces where contemporary dance had no place until then, we know how beneficial it was for the public to see other art forms they had not encountered before. With more contemporary art on offer, there is also a greater demand for a cultural experience. With the new production JUST ASK HER, the project would have the opportunity to build on and continue the active work of Radoslav Piovarči (TRAKT) in the regions of Slovakia.Interaction with the public, as well as a form of provocation, are the reasons for stepping out of our comfort zone of technically equipped theatres. The aim of the project is to reprise each work in as many performances as possible, in the regional context of the Slovak Republic.

We cordially invite the audience to all the reprises, which I will inform you about on FACEBOOK and on the web www.trakt.sk

Supported from public funds by the Fund for the Support of the Arts.

Consciousness

akjetam — Mon, 02 Jan 2023 12:31:42 +0000

Consciousness and subconscious – about their interaction, observation, possibilities, advantages or also the problems that their acceptance and research can cause. Are the accessibility of the unconscious and the free agency of consciousness determined by each individual’s moral and ethical principles/attitudes? Or do we consider it just a dream statement to which we do not attach any significance.

Choreography and interpretation by Lucia Bielik, Michaela Šeligová

Music: Jozef Smutný, Ján Gonda

Visualization: Tibor Meliš, Katarína Pavelková

Projection: Lukáš Matejka

Lighting design: Andrej Fábik

Premiere: 17.8.2021

Nocturno 2022

akjetam — Mon, 02 Jan 2023 08:21:08 +0000

Trenčín on the riverbedFor the second time, the Akropola Kremnica Cultural Centre is preparing the NOCTURNO event, which will take place on 30 July 2022 in the Zechenter Garden in the picturesque town of Kremnica. Surrounded by the hills of Kremnica, this year we will immerse ourselves in a magical world in which light will play the main role on the penultimate night of July.

The name NOCTURNO comes from the word “nocturne” which means night music or instrumental piece played outdoors, for example as a serenade. The night during NOCTURNO should also be a kind of composition, a beautiful music of visual art. 30 July will be in the spirit of light projections and installations, in the former botanical garden built by the writer Gustáv Kazimír Zechenter-Laskomerský near his house.

During the event, artworks by artists such as Palo Truben, Lukáš Matejka (Martina Vargová collaboration), Tomáš Tulis, Tomáš Eniac Cíger, Ivana Laila Drobná and others will shine. The light installations will be complemented by a rich accompanying programme for children, screening of short films, night chilling with the band Chill on the sun, as well as a movement performance performed by the Dance Studio from Banská Bystrica.

Don’t miss the open-air night gallery and come and experience the magic of art in the golden Kremnica.

We look forward to your visit.

Hiding dance

akjetam — Mon, 02 Jan 2023 08:07:19 +0000

Hiding dance is a new site-specific concept from TRAKT, which consists of dance performances (contemporary dance and performance) in unconventional places in Trenčín and its periphery. As part of the field artistic research, we chose exteriors – slightly on the urban periphery, at the same time in easy spectator accessibility. With reference to the strong specificity of the places and the distinctive principle of genius loci. The project is a public confrontation of the results of professional dance-performative artists and interprétés Lucia Bielik, Michaela Šeligová, Radoslav Piovarči and Ján Gonda. Hidden Dance counts on the participation of the general public – casual spectators.

The project took place on Saturday 16 July 2022 in the public space of Trenčín and its peripheries.

The project was implemented with the financial support of the Trenčín Self-Governing Region and the City of Trenčín. Thank you.

Babylon

akjetam — Mon, 02 Jan 2023 07:35:50 +0000

The Chaldean empire finds itself at war with the Persians under King Cyrus II, thanks to the treachery of the Babylonian priests. The commander of the Babylonian army, Nebuzar, searches the land for Persian spies and in the course of his wanderings meets the beautiful Nanai with whom he and she fall in love, unaware that it is because of this encounter that Nanai is sold to the mercy of the rich. She is saved from her fate by the Persian spy Ustiga, with whom she falls in love, but later, because of her endless and devoted love for Babylon and also for Nebuzar, Ustiga turns her over to the Babylonian army. Everything crumbles, the priests kill even the last resisters, and only a single commander of the armies sounds the alarm against the Persian threat. The plan to defend Babylon is in the hands of the Persians, and so the Babylonian army finally arises. The war lasts for two long years after which the Persians retreat for all the world. Babylon celebrates, Nanai pleads for Ustig’s liberation. The Persians take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Babylonians and, through the deflated riverbeds, attack and conquer Babylon. Only a few survive, among them Nanai, who remains in the vision of building a new free Babylon….

Fulla goodbye party performance

akjetam — Wed, 09 Mar 2022 11:52:09 +0000

Fulla’s works are leaving their home after decades – the Ľudovít Fulla Gallery and Ružomberok. The current unsatisfactory state of disrepair of the gallery building does not allow for the further display of originals of incalculable value. The consequence is that Fulla will leave his own gallery until a major reconstruction is carried out.

The site-specific performance, which is a combination of dance, theatre, music and lighting design, brings a symbolic, unique and unrepeatable farewell to the work of Ľ. Fulla. Interactive forms and a vjing projection will take place in both the outdoor and indoor spaces of the GĽF.

Concept: Radoslav Piovarči, Andrea Kapráliková / Interpreters: Giorgia Belotti, Lucia Bielik, Paulína Šmatláková, Michaela Šeligová, Radoslav Piovarči / Music: Andrej Jurkovič / Lighting design: Ján Čief / Costumes: Gabriela Čechová / Projection: Lukáš Matejka in collaboration with Viktor Vilkovský, Martina Matejková and Robert Roth (audio)

19 February 2022 / 18:00 Ľudovít Fulla Gallery / Admission: 3 €, students, seniors, disabled: 2 €

The programme is supported from public funds by the Art Support Fund and is produced in collaboration with the Koloman Sokol Society.

Festival of lights and shadow 2021

akjetam — Thu, 14 Oct 2021 09:36:14 +0000

The Festival of lights and shadow in the heart of Slovakia came into existence in 2015 on the occasion of the UN declaration of that year as the International Year of lights and light-based technologies. The aim of this step is to remind people across the world of what a significant role light and optical technologies play in the everyday life and in the future development of our society.

Our festival will bring an adaptation of a subject of MEMORY into the public space of the city of Banská Bystrica with the help of contemporary artists in December 2021. Many artists work with the subject of memory, often to record something for future generations. Others prefer to disrupt the memory in unexpected ways to change the methods by which we look at the past. How does the art influence our collective memory? And how can it inform our experience about significant events of our time?

We want to do art that tells stories. Stories about personal and cultural memory. Art is open to interpretation. Memory of the past is not a clear story. It is a combination of opinions from different points of view.

WHEN: 15. – 18. 12. 2021

WHERE: public space of Banská Bystrica

More information at: www.svetlo-tien.sk

Festival was funded by the Slovak Arts Council from public resources. Thank you.

Just ask her

akjetam — Thu, 14 Oct 2021 09:27:00 +0000

Do you need more space? Do you want to be here? How does it feel to be in the spotlight? What do you want to say? Is anybody interested in what you have to say? Do you have to scream to be heard? How do you feel? Can I share this space with you? Do I treat you fairly? Why are you so serious? What does it mean to be respected? How long are you going to wait? Would you speak up, if you were asked to? Can you do it on your own? In whose shoes are you currently walking? What about the protocol? How do we deal with it? Are we able to find a solution?
