Take a walk through the countryside, where the meadow becomes a living community not only of human beings, but also a place of shared listening, learning, and creation.
We invite you to a courageous practice sharing with the Divadlo Setkání collective. You will see a passage from their new project Voices of Meadows, which is being created in collaboration with the ecological initiative Pražská pastvina (Prague Pasture). We will talk about how their work is created in collaboration with environmental scientists, what guides them in their fieldwork, and where they find inspiration.
We will focus on the meadow as a multi-layered ecosystem and on the life cycle of the chazara briseis butterfly, which is being reintroduced in the area where we will go together with entomologist Vojtěch Koštíř.
The sharing of bold practice will take place in English.
