The Declarations of Addictions

What stories are you personally depending on?

How does theatre depend on reality and vice versa?

What does theatrical hell look like?

In a circle of anonymous theatre-goers, we seek answers to how we relate to theatre and why we need it. Why are we here (again)? We invite you to a staged reading of harvested materials performed by female researchers, an adjacent actor, and a musician with nowhere to practice. We all long for independence! Buddha, St. Ignatius and Mother Teresa. Is it possible to live inner independence and commitment at the same time? Is it possible to accept a certain dependence? A climatologist, a theologian, a sociologist and other explorers comment on the topic. Declarations of dependency offer space to experience unexpected reciprocities, peace and restlessness. Are you addicted to theatre? If not, come. If you are, come too!

Following the reading, there will be a workshop coupled with discussion by all participants. We will also offer a final relaxing and imaginative part for those interested.

This project was created at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague as part of the project Declaration of Dependencies supported by the Institutional Support for Long-term Conceptual Development of a Research Organization granted by the Ministry of Education in 2023. It was also financially supported by the State Fund for Culture.
