Festival 2025

About the 4 + 4 Days in Motion Festival

For 30 years, the international festival of contemporary art 4 + 4 Days in Motion has been a playground for the unexpected—exploring daring new forms of theatre, dance, and visual art, while breathing life into Prague’s forgotten spaces. This year, the festival finds a new home at the recently opened Galaxie Cultural Station in Prague’s Háje district, where, from September 20 through the end of the year, it will transform the venue with exhibitions, premieres, conferences, and an array of accompanying programs.

Exhibitions

The festival’s hallmark exhibition project, Places of Act, returns this year with two major installations at Galaxie. Planet Head, by visual artist David Böhm and writer Ondřej Buddeus, playfully delves into the human mind and our perception of the world, inviting visitors into a richly imagined inner universe. Housing Estate, focused on Prague’s South City, explores the stories, spaces, and everyday life of this iconic residential district. Both exhibitions bridge contemporary art with themes drawn from daily experience, and will remain open to the public until the end of 2025.

Theatre

As part of the autumn program, Galaxie will welcome leading international companies alongside a host of Czech premieres. Audiences can experience theatre and dance projects that defy genre boundaries, intertwine humor with profound themes, and engage with urgent social issues. In addition to world-class international productions, the program features premieres created specifically for Galaxie and its surroundings—including site-specific outdoor works, original performances, and productions responding to contemporary social realities. Together, these performances transform Galaxie into a vibrant hub for encountering the boldest and most innovative expressions of contemporary theatre and dance.

Big Bang Bar

In the new cultural venue Galaxie in Prague’s Háje district, Krištof Kintera presents his site-specific installation How Can I Help You?, expanding on his long-term interest in language, emotions, and states of mind. The monumental bar, made from more than three thousand glass vessels labeled with specific feelings, moods, and desires, creates a visual inventory of the human psyche and a map of today’s collective emotional landscape. Connecting language and art as tools for translating invisible experiences, the installation explores how inner states can be shared in an uncertain world. The result is a captivating “psychological laboratory” that draws visitors into a space of introspection and empathy. With irony as well as understanding, Kintera reflects the everyday emotional spectrum of human life—from joy to exhaustion—and invites us to consider how diverse and fragile our inner universe truly is.
