About event
A visually powerful story of Slovak TREASURES transformed into an original artistic fusion of traditional folklore and modern pop culture.
Have you ever wondered what a bridge between the past, present and future would look like? The exhibition Poklady in motion brings an answer in the form of an artistic concept of multi-layered art. The professional body of the Poddukel artistic folk ensemble and the successful project Party in the 21st century create a synthesis of two artistic worlds - visual and performative. This project offers more than just a static exhibition - the audience is literally drawn into the action. The exhibition uses graphic animations and video projections that create an immersive interactive environment. Girls in Slovak treasures - parties, symbolizing traditional brides, break down the boundaries between the past and the future. The authenticity in the detailed costumes and the unique contemporary facepainting with respect to the ornamentation of the given regions prove that the beauty and values of Slovak treasures are still relevant. One of the most visually powerful moments is the girls in groups literally "coming out of the picture frames". Through the emotions and experiences of our ancestors, who are preparing for the most special day of their lives, the viewer becomes part of their story. Movement, music and singing find intersections between music and dance folklore and various modern genres. This contrast creates a dynamic and original experience that will appeal not only to folklore lovers, but also to younger generations. From traditional Slovak folklore (past) to modern pop-culture (present), the story of Poklady blurs the imaginary boundaries of these two worlds and offers a living and vibrant legacy for future generations (future).

story, script and production: Zuzana Senásiová, Lubomír Sabo, Katarína Sabová, Matúš Jaško, Viliam Mikula
