Rural paradises?
Festival of rural art, ecological, cultural projects
July 6 – 7, 2012, Hranice u Malče, Vysočina
The aim of the meeting of cultural, artistic and ecological organizations and individuals based in the rural context is to offer a new view of the countryside as a resource for artists, and present various initiatives taking place in the countryside. The festival freely follows the conference On a different soil (November 2011, Prague), which dealt e. g. with the city approach to gardening. It takes place in the rural area, in the old cow-house.

YO-YO GARDENING AT STANICA
JUNE 2, 2012
Stanica Žilina-Zárečie
A day full of gardening work: building the dwellings for insects – beehives, bumble-bee homes, mansions for solitary bees; constructing the melliferous spiral. Discussions about the urban and rural beekeeping. This all under the control of the wind camera by Michal Kindernay.
The evening with Compagnie En Croq: Funky Pudding follows
The performance with the elements of commedie de’ll arte, grotesque as well as drama is a radical critique of capitalism and western civilization. It points to the inbalance between the individual and society, people and surplus, people and garbage. It is an interactive play, appreciated by the audience, engaged in environmental and societal themes.
On a different soil. Growth in art, society and culture
