Czech performers at the 13th international small theatre festival in Rijeka
The 13th international small theatre festival Rijeka 2006 is taking place on May 3 – 10 in Rijeka. It is featuring 12 theatre groups from Slovenia, Germany, Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Czech Republic and Croatia.
Festival was officially opened on May 3rd at 7 PM in the atrium of Croatian Culture Home on Sušak with exposition "Photographs of contemporary Czech theatre" by Michal Selinger, organized by Czech embassy in Croatia and presented by the vice consul Jindra Mala.
The Czech Republic is represented at the Festival by theatre studio "Farm in a Cave" with the play "Sclavi – an Emigrant's Poem" directed by Slovak director Viliam Dočolomansky. This play received the prestige "Alfred Radok" award for the best Czech play in 2005. Dočolomansky received the theatre of movement award for 2005, awarded by Theatre Newspapers, for this screenplay.
"Theatre studio "Farm in a Cave" is searching for physical articulation of what cannot be expressed by words or other media. "Sclavi – an Emigrant's Poem" is a scenic composition that came out of the studio's expeditions to villages in eastern Slovakia, from old Rusine songs, emigrants' letters and the adventures of Čapek's Hordubal. The authors of this screenplay are of Czech, Slovak, Ukraine and Serbian nationalities, who use an appropriate dosage of self-irony to let us know they are aware of the fall of Slavic loving ideas and the contemporary Slavic reality in Europe."
