Festival residency project
Chemické divadlo and Divadlo Setkání: no elders in this city
Following the success of the previous years, the festival has once again decided to support a new original project. 'no elders in this city' is a unique site-specific work offering an insight into the lives of seniors: it follows their everyday joys, relationships, hobbies and participation in community life, and is based on authentic testimonies. The production combines theatre and performance in an expansive form that allows audiences to enter the world of people who often remain invisible. The creators work with real stories that reveal experiences of loneliness, care, dignity and the everyday reality of old age, translating them into a contemporary scenic language that combines performance, installation and visual art. The project also actively involves seniors themselves as co-authors and partners in the creative process, giving full space to their voices and supporting their renewed participation in the life of the city. The result is a living participatory form that disrupts stereotypical perceptions of old age and opens space for intergenerational encounters and shared experience. The project is created in co-production with Chemické divadlo, Divadlo Setkání, Festival REGIONY and the ART-IN-RES programme of Nová síť, and offers a perspective that is at once sensitive, entertaining and inspiring.
