Panta Rhei traces the baroque lines of the Žďár Estate, connecting them with music, film and dance.
How is the whole made visible through decomposition? What connects music, dance and film? Baroque lines, pictures of space, principles of composition. Movement is in everything. Everything is in motion, Panta Rhei. Come and experience first-hand an interdisciplinary site-specific encounter between the local choral ensemble Cantu Gaudemus, founded by members of the well-known Žďáráček, Austrian choristers Landesjugendchor NÖ, dancers and filmmakers in single space at several times and in overlapping layers.
Panta Rhei is the first project of Martin Říčan, who has been studying film and vocal studies and has been attending the festival for more than ten years as a member of the Žďár basic artistic school choir.
Running time: 30 mins + 20 mins discussion after the performance with Katarína Brestovanská
Suitable for: 8+
The performance is not barier-free.
