Show on the map
We are returning to Prague's DOX+ after a year with an extraordinary concert from the series of Essential concerts. We will present the exceptional work of the Italian avant-garde composer of uncompromising and fragile music Salvatore Sciarrino (1947). His operas and concert works have been performed in Ostrava for many years. Sciarrino's work is appreciated on prestigious stages in Europe and the USA, but is heard sporadically in Prague. The concert will present a quartet of compositions embodying Sciarrino's original sound poetics. "Acoustic theatre of night sounds" evoking the mysteriousness of murmurs, creaking of old furniture, distant sounds of the sea, birds singing, wind rustling, heartbeat... The singing parts will be performed by leading interpreters of Sciarrino's music – Anna Radziejewska and Otto Katzameier. The solo part in the violin concerto Allegoria della notte will be performed by Hana Kotková. The conductor of the evening will be Petr Kotík. The string quartet Fragmente – Stille, an Diotima, composed by the Venetian Luigi Nono (1924–1990), the great avant-garde musician of the 20th century, is also characterised by its intimacy, introvertedness and mystery. At DOX+, the Quartetto Prometeo from Milano will also remind us of the centenary of Nono's birth.

Czech Hero
Satirical physical theater production Czech Hero by the theatre ensemble Farm in the Cave, which focuses on the contemporary and pressing topic of disinformation and political marketing. Movement, words, live music, dynamics, energy, exaggeration. All this in the DOX+ hall.
Essential Sciarrino+
The Ostrava New Music Centre returns to the DOX+ hall with another contribution to the Essential concerts series. This year's edition will focus on the exceptional work of the Italian avant-gardist, composer of uncompromising and fragile music Salvatore Sciarrino.
Commander
The unique production combines a physical theatre performance with live music and a film starring child actors of Farm in the Cave studio to communicate an urgent, yet widely overlooked, topic – the online radicalisation of youth.
