When I speak, I cannot hear the silence

12/05/2025

Premiere screening of my new experimental short film called When I speak, I cannot hear the silence. The audiovisual essay is based on the multi-genre performance Děti U and aims to open up another possibility of perceiving the complex topic of children’s palliative care through an experimental use of video. The choice of filming technique and style of the 90s home-videos refers to intimacy and family moments together. Under layers of emotion and visual effects, these can range from abstract poetry, to visual black metal, to a documentary of capricious underwater pleasures, to editing contemplation and finding inner peace. Movie was edited by David Přílučík. Premiere: 18. 5. 2025 – Palác Akropolis

Part of a project by Tantehorse. Děti U: FRAGMENTS follows the performance Děti U and is it’s reverberations, memories, and resonance. In Palác Akropolis the audience in different echoes experiences care for life, dying, and death from differing perspectives, and through the fusion of its own story and the captured shards, a whole experience is created.
