LEBANON & GERMANY
author and director: Rabih Mroué
We condemn the murderous acts of ISIS as unacceptable. And what about the killing of terrorists by drones? The Lebanese – German conceptual creator tests (our) boundaries of the endurability of perception of killing. It connects the fictional world of media with REality of killing. It brings facts, asks questions, but answers have to be found by visitors, as well as their REaction to these facts may be different.

UNITED KINGDOM & LEBANON
directed by Tania El Khoury
What is it like when a story of someone you do not know will hit you deeply? For example,
a Syrian refugee? How far can fingertips take a man? An intimate performance, where touch, music and story take always one person on a journey to encounter people of various fate, origin and confession. On the path of compassion and understanding.

Naïve Theatre Liberec, CZECH REPUBLIC
directed by Michaela Homolová
A magical underwater world filled with majestic billowing jellyfishes and nimble fish, lit by corals and whales’ eyes, where you can swim or sleep in a shell. One of the finest children’s theatres in Europe returns to Nitra. Though Bohemia Lies by the Sea was created for children from the age of 6, it will doubtless enchant all, who can appreciate a beauty.

circolando – transdisciplinary creation space, PORTUGAL
directed by André Braga & Cláudia Figueiredo
Night is a time of dreams and ghosts, but also of encounters with our own subconscious and ego. The Night is, from the perspective of three Portuguese performers and one DJ, the time for outsiders, who cannot belong to the society that lives during the daytime. That’s why the arena space created from a hundred tires on the stage will generate, with a help of the unique physical theatre, an exhausting fight for a better place in the world.

LEBANON & GERMANY
written and directed by Rabih Mroué & Lina Saneh
What sort of trace do we leave in the world of digital technologies once we die?Theatre installation without actors is the concert of means of communication
– smartphones, TV and social media and also the REreconstruction of the portrait of a killed Lebanese activist.

HUNGARY
concept and direction: Kristóf Kelemen & Bence György Pálinkás
Can a tree become the subject matter of heated political discussion? The creative duo of the young stars of the Hungarian theatre scene bring a clear political theatre with a dose of irony and satire. It deals with the relationship of the Hungarian nation to the false acacias. Though the false acacia originates from North America, it has become the Hungarian national symbol and for Viktor Orbán a weapon against the dictate of the European Union.
