One evening – two art forms. One topic – two worlds. Audiovisual projection with child actors – and physical theatre with adult performers. The online radicalisation of children vs. juvenile behaviour of our society. The dynamic movement of the performers, the pulse of live music and disturbing images create an unusual insight into the digital darkness that most of us are – perhaps intentionally – unaware of.
Farm in the Cave was founded by Viliam Dočolomanský in 2022. In its beginnings, the company was a pioneer of physical theatre in the Czech Republic and since then it has represented the country at many prestigious festivals across 3 continents and in over 60 cities. The studio has evolved from a “theatre laboratrory” into an engaged ensemble whose authorial productions based on unexplored cur-rent topics have a significant social impact. Viliam Dočolomanský not only directs and choreographs the performances but also takes part in creating the musical score.
He led many theatre projects, workshops, and researches in the Czech Republic as well as abroad. The company has received numerous Czech and international awards, including the European Prize for New Theatrical Realities for Viliam Dočolomanský, the Total Theatre Award, The Grand Prix Golden Laurel Wreath Award, A Fringe First Award and more.
In 2018 he became the artistic director for performing arts in the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art, where he leads the dramaturgy and artistic strategies in the fields of music, dance, theatre, and perfor-mance.
