FESTIVAL & NON-TRADITIONAL SPACES<\/h3>\n

In 1998, Four Days worked closely with the mamapapa organization to effectively transplant the festival from traditional theatrical institutions and halls to the unconventional space of a century-old sewage treatment plant In Bubene\u010d. The following year, this same festival was held in the abandoned factory space of CKD Karl\u00edn. In 2000 the festival took place in the former brewery in Hole\u0161ovice and the sixth year of the festival in 2001 was held in Tyr\u0161\u016fv House and the Nosticova Hall. The 7th festival was held in Ponec Theatre, the eights took place in the area of former brickwork in Sarecke Valley and for 9th annual we chose a romantic area of public park Stromovka – surrounding area of \u0160lechtova Restaurant. The 10th annual theatre festival took place in the spaces of Prague ZOO and at the hockey stadium HC Hvezda in Vokovice. In 2006 became the heart of the festival the house in the centre of Prague (former dental clinic) in Jungmannova 21 and international companies were presented in theatres Alfred ve dvore (Alfred in the Couryard) and Ponec Theatre. Next year we cooperated with famous Dutch group Theatre SILO. Together with Czech artists they tailored the space of the Agricultural Museum in Prague to ask the audience and passers by the crucial questions of cultivation \u2013 the site-specific project named KULTIVAR. Jednotka\/Unit built up amazing bar at the Letn\u00e1 park and theatre performances took place in theatres Archa and Ponec. The 13th edition of the festival took place at the industrial halls in Holesovice and last year the festival took place in the building of the former Federal Assembly.<\/p>\n

This use of un-traditional festival spaces met with highly positive acclaim from the participants, professional critics and a wide audience alike.<\/p>\n

FOUR DAYS & FESTIVAL<\/h3>\n

The main task of the association is an organisation of international theatre festival Four + Four Days in Motion. Since 1996 the festival’s aim is to present contemporary inovative theatre projects, every year the festival presents ca twenty groups from all over the world. The particularity of the festival is to enliven objects of the Prague architecture by theatre and presentation of international projects co-produced by Four Days.<\/p>\n

Projects of the festival include all genres of contemporary art (theatre, dance, music, visual art, film, video art). Every year of the festival has its specific theme – leitmotif, for example Demolition (abandoned halls of CKD, where the festival took place were prepared to demolishon), Hibernation (freezing of cultural activities in the Czech Republic, extinction of residential spaces, etc) The effect of connecting the individual genres of art in the dramaturgy of the festival is also the connection of visitors of theatre performances with the vistiors of concert, galleries and fans of dance music.<\/p>\n

Thus festival 4+4 Days in Motion is in the Czech context an unique event. The natural part of the festival create seminars and workshops, which often become the basis for the next cooperation between artists, managers, and theatre professionals from different countries.<\/p>\n
