Abstract

The international theater project Journey to the Station concluded with a performance of the same name which brought the building of the small railway station together with 62 participants from varied cultural backgrounds. Farm in the Cave and Norwegian theater group Stela Polaris presented a theater event which had been created during a three week workshop. The events in the individual spaces, in exteriors and interiors, were based on historical facts surrounding the station building and its atmosphere.
The performance began and also symbolically christened the existence of the new cultural center Stanica.

 

Dancers, movement theatre, fire performance, resourceful music, circus – different ethnical and cultural influences fused into one whole during an evening. The creators of the project also included the history of the building, which was inhabited by one family and not far from there was a gathering place for Jews before deportation during The Second World War. The performance which evoked Jakubisko´s films culminated in the courtyard next to the station, where the narrative marriage of the two protagonists took place...“ Oliver Rehák, SME
