Extinction Room

The calls of birds take us back to our roots, awakening a sense of life, hope and harmony. But what happens when they cross paths with our ruthlessness?

Extinction Room is a stereophonic performative dream. Stories, music and dance lead spectators to a definitive ending point: the point of extinction. So unique is this collaboration between three foreign creatives and young Czech artists and youth that it will be presented twice during the festival. 21 species sentenced to death and 21 bird stories; the spectator can walk through them alongside the performers and feel the urgency of their call. Extinction Room can be understood as a point of contact with the great beyond; one may never grasp it in it's entirety, but can be enchanted by individual fragments, tones and movements.
