A Bit Worse than Romeo: Tragedy from Caprice

The summer project is an inter-genre experiment, created in collaboration of the theatre and visual art dramaturgies of MeetFactory. The project is based on reinterpreting three texts: the canonical Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a novel titled Dark Energy by the contemporary German writer Juli Zeh and an extraordinary writing by Søren Kierkegaard, The Seducer’s Diary. The result is an interdisciplinary, partly site-specific production on the edge of theatre and a monumental art installation.

A Bit Worse than Romeo: Tragedy from Caprice
Music [under your feet] is the first exhibition of Rolf Julius in the Czech Republic. However, his traces can be found elsewhere. The archive of Jiří Valoch contains several works that Julius dedicated to Jiří Valoch and Milan Knížák.
Ondřej Doskočil knows the weight of inherited political layers of the black metal genre as well as of the problems contained in musealisation and sensation craving colonization of subcultures by marketing ideology. As an insider and a musician he can also distinguish, untangle and give voice to the symbol systems inside of this extreme metal subgenre that would otherwise not speak to uninvolved people at all, or that would not even be heard over the all-encompassing noise. The format of the mobile phone shot "exhibition walkthrough" could confuse while detecting what is the medium he refers to.
