The 16th international Flora Theatre Festival will take place in Olomouc from 10 to 20 May, 2012. The traditional non-competitive festival of theatre production of Czech and foreign theatres, organized by Divadlo Konvikt association and Moravian Theatre Olomouc, will present almost 50 productions on its eight festival stages. The framework of the festival is formed by three lines of dramaturgy:
This year, the festival will host the zeroth edition of a project “Power of the Visegrad Dance” encompassing the world premiere of a dance production of Slovakian director Jozef Vlk called Power Power Dance (10 and 11 May), and then four performances of both solo dancers and ensembles that participate in the creation of the project. Those are Polish dancer Anna Steller (Have a nice Hell –12 May), Anna Réti from Hungary (Vis-à-Vis – 14 May), dance group Debris Company from Slovakia (Mono – 17 May), and Czech dance company VerTeDance (How Much Does Your Desire Weigh? – 16 May).
In the course of the four days (13 – 16 May), five leading Czech theatres (Petr Bezruc Theatre from Ostrava, Goose on a String Theatre, National Moravian-Silesian Theatre, Reduta Theatre from Brno, and Divadlo v Dlouhé Theatre from Prague) will present five key productions of director Jan Mikulášek – adaptations of classic novels (Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë; Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann) as well as contemporary prose (Gottland by Mariusz Szczygieł; Europeana by Patrik Ouředník) and also a production of a play by British playwright Dennis Kelly Love and Money.
Within the platform “No Komedie!” (17 – 20 May), the festival audience will see a unique representative retrospection of seven productions of Prague Chamber Theatre (Goebbels/Baarová; Heart of Darkness; Faith, Hope, and Charity; The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other; Underground Blues; Weissenstein; and The Legend of the Holy Drinker). This July, the theatre will definitively end the outstandingly successful decade of its functioning crowned by a recent award for “Theatre of the Year 2011” at the most prestigious Czech theatre competition called the Alfréd Radok Awards.
The 16th Flora Theatre Festival will also offer a great variety of side events and many other theatre productions apart from the ones listed above. The advance ticket sales for individual productions will start on Monday 23 April. The complete programme of the Flora Theatre Festival will be available by the end of March. www.divadelniflora.cz
