Boca Loca Lab a Brno Contemporary Orchestra: We are the power (CZ)

The performance is part of the inaugural year of the international festival PRIENIKY. More information can be found at www.prieniky.sk

Expelling the Dictator according to Pussy Riot - a piece for three female voices with instrumental accompaniment. 

In 2012, a prayer “Mother of God, drive out Putin!” was uttered in Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral, with which the activist group Pussy Riot protested against Putin's return to the presidency and the close ties between the leadership of the Orthodox Church and the state power. The girls were arrested, and in a manipulated process, two of them were sentenced. They served their sentences in the harshest prison camps in Siberia. Their warning against Putin is now prophetic, and their courage is exceptionally inspirational today. In We are the power, we hear PRIENIKY of words, song, and music.

Jiří Adámek Austerlitz

He created an original type of “sonic” theater, in which he mixes musically composed structure, stylized acting, and vocal technique on the verge of speech and song. As a librettist and director, he collaborates on musical-theatrical compositions, staged concerts, new operas, experimental, and site-specific projects in numerous theaters (Studio Hrdinov, Hadivadlo, New Stage of the National Theatre in Prague, Divadlo Minor…). He develops a specific approach to language and speech especially with his theater group Boca Loca Lab. He entered the Bratislava Puppet Theater as the author of the libretto and director of the production Hugov svet. For his projects, he has received several significant awards: the Music Theatre Now! award in Germany, the award for original theater form in Toruń, the Grand Prix at the festival in Bielsko-Biała, the Theatre Newspaper Award, Grand Prix Nova in Romania, and Prix Bohemia.
