On 29 August 2022, on the anniversary of the Slovak National Uprising, the project plans to publish the song In a wide field the linden tree stands. It is a song with an anti-fascist context: the original song by the world-famous Alexanders in Horehronie has been rejuvenated – local people have taken over the melody and changed the words.

Both singles will be part of an upcoming CD, which plans to complete this project during the autumn of 2022.

We invite you to the Baptism of the album UNDER THE CLOUD, which will take place on Friday, February 24, 2023 in the Workers’ House at 7:00 pm.

Ondro and friends is a group of musician-friends who like to experiment and dream. In 2020 they took part in the TV competition Zem sìva, where they impressed the jury and made it to the finals. In most of their arrangements, they emphasize the recognition of selected stylistic elements of the processed songs according to the specific localities of their origin, but in several cases also according to specific singers – bearers of the traditions. This is the culmination of a project that has been creating and publishing its arrangements for several years. In addition to musicians, the programme will also feature prominent singers from various parts of Slovakia.

The project has been supported by the Fund for the Support of the Arts from public funds. The recording and release of the CD Pod obločkom was made in close cooperation with TRAKT and Môlča records. The musicians who participated in the CD were:

Ondrej Druga

The author / director of the project is Tomáš Moravanský, working in the field of intermedia, conceptual and dramatic works. He focuses on audiovisual projects, opera direction, gallery installations, music and choreography. The production line of the project is covered by TRAKT.

The introduction of Interpellation deals with human movement as a daily, work or social programmed form – a register of civil movements that do not fall into dance but can be its starting material. These are activities related to the creation and interpretation of a work of art and leisure activities in which the actor automatically enters ecstatic state and in which the process itself is important. The project adopts a choreography understood as a system of power control over the human body in activities that are understood in society as a manifestation of freedom or individualism.
