Together, we will create a long, lively chain that will start at the Museum of Modern Art in Denis Street and end up in Wurmov Street where the W7 Gallery is housed in the Na Cucky Theater. A long line of brave men, women and children will lead them there. Traditionally, from ear to ear, they will hand over a secret message to the secret post, which will be communicated to all by a prominent person. Come and let us do it!

SILVER SPRINGS
8.00 - 10.00 PM | TERRACE CAFÉ 87
concert

The Silver Springs band is a Czech-American formation that is openly acclaimed for the overseas tradition of alternative and indie rock; It does not feel simple compositions and singing refrains, the primary emphasis puts on energy, but at the same time rejects the label of classic "patch" guitar dancing. The two founding members, frontman Niko Jalauzidis and guitarist Elijah Cooper, have their designs as Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon, and Bon Iver. Where others have an emphasis on the image, Silver Springs wants to get melodic hooks first.

Audiovisual installation

Modern audiovisual installation by Pavel Mrkus, R.E.D. Complements in an unexpected connection the ancient Gothic cloister in the cloister of the Bishops Ziksak Palace. This installation is a part of the exhibition.
