About Klára: Stories from Trenčín 9

akjetam — Wed, 06 Nov 2024 10:23:35 +0000

The continuation of Tales from Trenčín will bring visitors the story of Klara the Beauty Rider. On Friday 28 June and Saturday 29 June 2024, starting at 21:15, the story will take the audience back to 1813, when the town on the banks of the Váh River was hit by a great flood. Around 30 performers will tell the story of Clara the beauty queen and Michael the tailor through acrobatic art, music and visual effects. The performance will be situated along the Váh River (beginning at the athletics track). We will be able to watch it from the dam, moving along with the action in the direction of the old road bridge. The author of the literary model and the director of the event is Vlado Kulíšek. The animated projections within the event were created by TRAKT in cooperation with the young animator Emá Balážová.

akjetam — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 06:41:49 +0000

On 16 November 2023, together with the City of Kremnica, we celebrated a historical milestone – the 695th anniversary of the granting of city privileges. The Kremnica Acropolis and Stefanik Square witnessed a unique event that brought the community together and celebrated the rich history of this beautiful city. An early evening parade started in front of the Acropolis, heading towards the town hall, and brought a wonderful experience full of light, colour and joy.

At the end, we met at the Municipal Office, where a varied programme awaited us. The Fokoš mining choir brought us an unforgettable musical experience, along with speeches, video-mapping on the Municipal Office building and folk music by the Majer family. Together we created a memorable moment in the history of Kremnica. Thank you for your participation and we look forward to more celebrations together!

The Night of Museums and Galleries 2023

akjetam — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 13:44:04 +0000

The Night of Museums and Galleries is a pan-European event held under the patronage of the Council of Europe with the aim of presenting cultural heritage and the importance of its preservation and protection in cultural exchange, dissemination of information about the cultural diversity of individual countries and regions of Europe, informal education and recreation.

The activities of museums during the Night of Museums and Galleries are oriented towards activities that remain hidden from the public throughout the year. At that time, museums open their “hidden” chambers to the public and reveal secrets hidden from public view. In this way, the public can penetrate the secrets of the ‘museum kitchen’. ‘Unlocking the secrets’ also helps the public, through the knowledge and information thus gained, to better understand the importance of museums in preserving part of the cultural and natural heritage preserved in museums.

As part of the Night of Museums and Galleries event in Trencin, TRAKT will present a pair of art projects in the Atrium under the Tower and in the City Tower on 13 May.

CITY TOWER
9.00 – 23.00 LIGHT HARF | Interactive game full of light beams. Become a player and try what it is like to play on the lights.

ATRIUM UNDER THE TOWER
21.00 – 23.00 LIGHT GRAFFITI | Do you want to become part of street art and leave your digital legacy? Put your light graffiti on the façade of the Atrium. Just press the spray nozzle and you can start creating huge works of art. What’s more, you don’t have to worry about damaging the history of the façade because it’s a digital projection.

Lestival 2023

akjetam — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 13:22:18 +0000

Lestival is a magnificent look into the most beautiful realm. A fantasy realm where cotton candy is made out of clouds, dragons have musical taste, Lactibrada drinks cappuccino and Valibuk rolls his hips with a smile. I mean, beeches. Connect for two days with the world of creatures from Dobšinský’s fairy tales and Slavic mythology. For this year’s “Tree of Words”, TRAKT has prepared a projection on an old redwood tree in Dolná Krupá Park.
