Theatre Aréna: Tiso SK
10:00 - 11:00

The unforgettable performance TISO opened the tenth edition of Pohoda and is regarded as one of the theatrical highlights of our festival. The lead in the play back then was an amazing actor Marián Labuda. TISO at Pohoda 2006, that was an auditorium filled to capacity, hundreds of people who couldn’t get in standing in front of the tent, absolute silence interrupted by frenetic applause and standing ovation and long applause at the end. When the performance ended, Marián Labuda was sitting next to the tent for quite a long time: exhausted, drenched in sweat, looking surprised and really happy. The new version features his son, Marián Labuda Jr. We would like to dedicate this year’s theater performance to its original leading actor, Slovak acting legend, Marián Labuda.

Slovácké divadlo: Přes ploty (Through fences)
09:00 - 10:50

Fedor Gál @ Matěj: Přes ploty (Through Fences) “Fences. Fences everywhere,” a sigh of the Slovak sociologist, documentarist, dissident and one of the authors of the play, Fedor Gál. By fences, Gál means fences between individuals as well as between social groups. He has a lot of experiences with them: overcoming such fences, mainly those opinion-related, via a dialogue is his life’s theme. When, one day, he receives an email from an anonymous national socialist Matej full of all kinds of attacks against the author’s Jewish origin, he does not delete it, but replies back. This launches a dialogue lasting for ten years. A theatrical adaptation of their correspondence is a unique documentary about the possibilities and limits of how two completely different people are capable of understanding each other. After the performance, a debate with Fedor Gál and authors will follow.

Rebel Babel & Textilanka PL/SK
20:00 - 21:00

How would Too Many Zooz, Moravanka, Cypress Hill, and Kool & The Gang sound together? A performing-musical response is offered by an international project with Polish roots, Rebel L Babel. The band was founded, with the ambition to become the biggest band in the world, by the famous Polish rapper L.U.C. (performed also an opening act to Prodigy, Massive Attack, and Wu-Tang Clan concerts) along with the Danish producer and drummer John Feat. In addition to excellent music, they are also known for their cool videos, which are filmed in unusual places (subway, spa...). Also thanks to Pohoda, their set will again grow somewhat larger, as Rebel L Babel will perform here with the folk brass music band Textilanka from Trenčín.

Babel, or Babylon, is a symbol of the chaos and confusion that occurred when people stopped talking in one language. In the famous Bible story, God thus punished the pride of the Babylonians, who wanted to prove their haughtiness by building a tower reaching the heaven. The story of the Genesis book and its current metamorphosis in a linguistically and culturally diverse world is artistically addressed by Rebel L Babel. The common language is music that connects musicians from all over Europe. In their songs and funny videos, the languages, genres, instrumental sets, and musicians themselves are mixed together. You see big bands from different corners of Europe, listen to different themes and yet you feel and know that you are enjoying the very same band. At Pohoda, they will perform with the local brass music band Textilanka. The Trenčín district is, apart from Pohoda, known for the most brass music bands in Slovakia; we are glad that Vlado Ďatelinka and the band are open to this kind of ideas as well and have accepted this challenge. Rebel L Babel and Textilanka will bring through their music everything and everyone to the right place also at Pohoda 2018.

Uhol_92: Folklore not War SK
10:00 - 11:00

A year ending in eight 2018 reminds us of the end of the WWI anniversary. The war has not always just taken place “there”, on the screen, affecting “them”. Slovak men and women experienced it from near as well. That’s the reason why we have so many stories and folk songs. In this dance-theatrical play, electronic music and contemporary dance become a surprising ally of Slovak folklore in their mission to mediate the message of our great-great-great-grandparents. The Gemer dialect mixes with a harsh-sounding dialect of Trnava region, notes from 1914 alternate with diary excerpts from the city of Rakka occupied in 2017. Maybe it’s enough to just open your eyes and ears. Folklore not War.

Cikánský boxer (gypsy boxer) - Monodrama of Filip Teller
09:00 - 10:00

“You have to punch from the heart.” Hans would like to forget. To forget the day when as a kid he met his friend Ruki who gave him an apple. The day when Ruki took him boxing and when the Nazis started to ban him from boxing. To forget the day they met again in a work camp and had to box against one another to entertain the SS men. Memories are like beasts which Hans cannot escape.

A play about friendship which was forbidden in the Third Reich yet remained true beyond death. The story of Ruki, the boxer, reflects the life of Johann Trollmann, called “Rukeli” born in 1907 in Hanover. Trollmann became German Cruiserweight Champion in 1933. In 1944 he was murdered in a subcamp of the Neuengamme concentration camp.
