The Consulate General of the Czech Republic is proud to announce a project of the Czech Center in New York which takes a place in the beginning of February 2016.
4 ARTISTS FROM PRAGUE X 4 ARTISTS FROM NEW YORK = 4 WORLD PREMIERES IN 2 COUNTRIES, 4 CITIES.
Prague – New York Effects is a creation of 4 original performance world premieres where diverse artistic disciplines meet in the narrow interstitial space between cultures and countries to create unique resonance.
One Czech artist and one American artist, from different sides of the ocean, each of them from a different cultural context, each of them from a different social class, from different ethnicities and from different traditions. They are meeting on one stage. In a workshopped process they will create original performance duets in the middle of a circle face to face. They will cross the circumference, bridge a divide?
They are meeting in New York. They will experiment and work on a common performance. How will this meeting change them? What will they bring back to their country?
Performances and workshops will take place in New York, Prague, Washington, DC & Pilsen.
WE ARE THRILLED THAT PETR GANDALOVIČ, CZECH AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED STATES AND ANDREW SCHAPIRO, UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR TO THE CZECH REPUBLIC HAVE BOTH ENDORSED THIS BRIDGE BUILDING ENDEAVOR.
