Abgesagt: Silent Night, Lightless Night

The uprising has begun. Filmmaker Paľo Bielik documents the battlefield, the Frontline Theatre Troupe exhilarate soldiers, injured and hospital personnel, counterfeit partisans loot and plunder. Multiple storylines unfold in parallel in different nooks of the Zvolen theatre, so the spectator is faced with a dilemma: Whom will he or she follow? Dialogue alternates with rapid action, and whoever wants to keep up with the plot must be constantly on their guard! This piece offers an unexpected and unconventional but powerful theatrical experience, underscored by the fact that to attend it the audience need to shuttle from Nitra to Zvolen.

15:00–17:30, bus departs at 13:00 from parking lot by Andrej Bagar Theatre in Nitra, returns at approx. 19:15. Discussion with creators on return bus trip.
