They set out on a journey. Out of fear. With no guarantees. The paths of three runaways intersect. Bound to one another, they navigate a terrain of anxiety, courage, failure and compassion, seeking refuge in an indifferent world. At the point of no return, all that remains is awakening.
A stage composition balancing on the border between physical theatre and concert.
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.
