Performance Putin is Skiing and a discussion (in cooperation with Truc sphérique)

Performance Putin is Skiing and the discussion for the public. Líšeň Theater will put on a performance and the partner will dramaturgically prepare the discussion – conceptualize the topic, select the speaker, and arrange for a suitable moderator. Possible topics of discussion: contemporary Russia, the war in Ukraine, fake news and hybrid war, humanitarian topics, and historical and political topics connected with contemporary Russia and the war in Ukraine. However, the specific choice of topic is a matter for the dramaturg on the partner's side and will be based on the current social context in Slovakia. The goal is to offer the most lively and up-to-date topic. The implementation of the event will be beneficial in two areas. In the sphere of theater, it will inspire an original theatrical form to develop a debate about the possibilities of engaged theater. In the social/civic area, it will contribute to the debate on a chosen, socially significant topic. https://www.divadlolisen.cz/provokujici-divadlo-ve-visegradu/
