Together

Different each time it is performed, “Together” always responds to its immediate surroundings. This six-hour performance by Slovenian duo Jurišić – Mandić is finally coming to Prague, where it will take on the garden at Studio Alta.

An impossible problem for politicians, an eternal ideal for live art. This electrifying, six-hour performance asks what it means to be really together. Accompanied by an ever-changing soundtrack and emotions in constant flux, the artists improvise to the limit of their endurance on all aspects of coexistence and love: from origin to collapse, to rediscovery and the search for compromise. Risky, funny and violent, Together is extreme, deeply human, intelligent and courageous.

_Together_is sometimes describes as one of the most important Slovenian theatrical events of the last decade. Audience witnesses an uncompromising commentary on the pace of contemporary life. In a world where existence has become a matter of performance and nothing is safe from mediatization, the Together invites us to consider if “being together” has become a risky investment we’re increasingly unable to afford.
