Performative installation
Mo–Fr 16:00–22:00, Sa–Su 14:00–22:00

The Stranger Gets a Gift focuses on developing encounters for one audience member at a time. These may appear in secluded performances, installations or exchanges between performer and audience member. In Phenomenological Recipes these are explored through two seperate projects; one to one performances and a performative installation.
For the one to one performances, guest artist will devise experiences within the context of the 4 Days in Motion festival invading the common spaces of Desfours Palace. The performative installation will present the work of students of the MA Directing of Devised and Object Theater of the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (DAMU), in collaboration with students of the School of Art and Design of Prague College under the mentorship of Cristina Maldonado.
