Set off on a little textile adventure, and help Nitka overcome obstacles. Cross the abyss, crawl through the thicket, escape the labyrinth… A sewing workshop for those who’d like to discover the unconventional possibilities of embroidery, led by artist, graphic designer, and illustrator Eva Volfová.

She graduated from the Textile Studio of the Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague as well as the Centre for Lifelong Learning at Charles University. She works with textiles and thread as well screen printing, creating series of images that tell stories that are a sensitive and playful synthesis of textile and graphic work.

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.
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.
Festival FALL
The second year of the FALL festival brings together writers, poets, visual artists, and other creative minds working across different genres to discuss and celebrate the power of literature, storytelling, art, and our need for empathy in the digital age.
