FRIENDSHIP_IS_MAGIC

Do you remember your first friendship? When was the last time you saw your first friend or first friend? Do you remember her at all?
Do you have friends today? Best friend or friend? Do you have someone to lean on? Would you call him*her in a critical situation? How often do you see him?
Who do you call friends? Are you a good friend?
Is it difficult for you to make friends? Create a community? How is it actually done?

Can a true friend just disappear from your life?

🎀 Friendship_is_Magic is an art-community event during which we will discover the connections that have shaped us throughout our lives. Together we will think about friendships, their value and importance.

And anyone who wants to immerse himself for a while in the maze of relationships and connections that we acquire during our life can become part of a pleasantly and creatively spent time.

🍻 We will meet in Vybavenô, where you can have a drink or chat with friends. The program will include a clothes SWAP, in which we invite you to participate. You can look forward to party games or friendship bracelets. So take your friends and join us!

🎀 Friendship_is_Magic is being created as part of an upcoming production that will be created under the auspices of the Panoptikum Theater and will be presented in the 2026/2027 season.

🎨 Connecting_through_Art is a project of the Panoptikum Theatre, which
connects professional theater creators with artists from other fields, both professional and non-professional. The goal of this project is to create events with a clear thematic focus reflecting various contemporary social phenomena and problems. Through open calls, Panoptikum invites you to participate in the project. In the close team of creators of the project, a creative dialogue takes place and the performative parts and the entire dramaturgical framework of the event are created. Hilek
Production: Martina Havierová and Petra Nižnanská
