Performance shYfted wOrld
In the spaces of the Convent of St Agnes of Bohemia, several remarkable beings have taken up residence. Their bodies and movements resemble those of humans, but their heads take on various geometric shapes. Each being is inhabited by a symbiont—a creature or plant that propels its existence forward in time and space. How far from our world? In the site-specific performative installation 'shYfted wOrld,' you can encounter a research mantis, a fusion studying a herbarium, an anxious scribe, or meditating gardeners. The boundaries between the human world of the monastery and the non-human worlds of plants, animals, and objects blur here. Historical monastic life intertwines with futuristic worlds beyond humanity.
Price: Free / Venue: Convent of St Agnes of Bohemia / Capacity: 350 people / Reservation: GoOut
About the artistic collective tYhle
We are an international collective of artists who combine performative art, dance, physical theater, clowning, and other forms of art in our work. We focus on experimenting with imagination, everyday life, humor, identity, and society. The letter Y in our name symbolizes a crossroads—a place where we can meet, make decisions, and move forward together. It represents the intersection of various inspirations, perspectives, opinions, and ideas from which we create. The tYhle collective was founded in Brno in 2015 by performers Lukáš Karásek and Florent Golfier-Brechmann. They were later joined by lighting designer Zuzana Režná and set designer and choreographer Marie Gourdain. In 2025, dramaturg Jakub Liška joined the collective. Currently, tYhle is based in Prague and presents its projects in the Czech Republic and abroad.
