CH

The performance took place on a ferry that circled the route around the old railway bridge over the Vltava River, whose possible demolition has stirred up local resentment. At the Bridge Connects Festival 13.10 – 16.10.2023, a number of artists of various backgrounds expressed their support for the bridge. Jana Orlová was the curator of the performance section 15.10. 2023, during which she and Ondřej Macl realized a performance entitled CH. In it, the themes of the Charonic ferrying, death, the figure of Persephone, and the poison that brings oblivion resonated. The performance took place in very bad weather, but this did not deter the artists or the audience.
