"When you watch a Farm in the Cave performance, you don't know if you're watching dance, theatre or a concert. But one thing is clear, it's contemporary performance art," said Assen Assenov, Director of One Dance Week International Festival. His words accurately capture the essence of our approach to the expression of the performer, which Farm in the Cave, under the direction of Viliam Dočolomanský, has developed over its more than 20 years of existence.
In April, we are heading to Rome to perform two of our productions – Refuge 2025 and Commander. Both performances will be part of the prestigious In Levare dance season, curated by Valentina Marini as part of the National Dance Production Centre Orbita Spellbound programme.
On Tuesday, 18 March, we lost Professor Jaroslav Vostrý, under whom the founders of the Farm in the Cave carried out their doctoral studies between 2002–2008. We are all deeply grieved by his death.

It will also strive to offer an individual approach with respect to the momentary dispositions of each participant.

Luckily, we still have a Facebook page that we are constantly filling with information and we are also preparing a new version of Instagram. Keep your fingers crossed!
