Sons of the Dictatorships – Contemporary dance about Latin American dictatorships "We are poor, not by choice, but because they have stolen everything – our blood, our breath, our books, our health. Our governments are corrupt, as is our police force, and we are ruled by dictatorships that everyone says have disappeared. We are a people who have been silenced, but with the will to scream and tell our history." The dance performance Sons of the Dictatorships offers a raw testimony about life under authoritarian regimes in Latin America. It is based on the true stories of people who grew up in an environment of corruption, violence, and fear – but also of an unbreakable desire for justice. The project is a co-production of the Memory of Nations Theatre [...]

✨How many emotions can fit into a few dozen minutes on stage? During the Theater Studios Exhibition at Španělská 10, we experienced smiles, tears, and moments of complete silence in the auditorium. The Studios from Chříč, Karlovy Vary, Hradec Králové, and part of the Prague 8 ensemble presented their productions. The young actors from the Memory of Nations Theater managed to transport the audience to moments when our history was being written — on the edge of courage and loss. We are grateful for every round of applause, for every pair of focused eyes in the audience. We thank the students and lecturers for their diligence and patience, and everyone involved for their energy, which brings these stories to life again and again. A final big thank you [...]
