CAMPQ

The Czech pavilion is a gate to a parallel reality. Are these custodians or employees of a government agency that are welcoming you? The bus to the island Štvanice leaves every half an hour. That is where the core of the Czech exposition is – a different world – an intergalactic integration camp. The immersive stage design installation has been created by a peer group of Czech stage designers, architects, urbanists, who are mostly part of the independent scene. The CAMPQ project live presents their specific poetics.

Enter the CAMPQ and experience a night on an island among aliens!

A unique installation and immersive production for the 14th Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space. The biggest co-production project in the history of Czech theatre. CAMPQ is one of the many camps where the newcomers from other planets have found their refuge – mysterious Phoenic women, survivors of the technically advanced civilization Zeyris and animalistic Attas that haven’t stopped worshiping their Queen even on the planet Earth. Do they have a right to be among us? Are we able to integrate them? The audience is given a chance to find answers to these questions either by visiting the exhibition or during the immersive production – an almost eight-hour-long visit to the “Open Day” at this unique adaptation camp.
