THE NATIONAL COLLECTION OF BAD HABITS / LOSERS CIRQUE COMPANY
20/03/2024
Original idea by: Kateřina Šedá, Screenplay and dramaturgy: Lenka Veverková, Director: Tomáš Dianiška
This production, based on the eponymous project by Kateřina Šedá, underscores that bad habits are a common part of our everyday lives. They set us apart from others and yet, paradoxically, they also unite us. A playful romantic comedy full of pop-culture references, snappy dialogues and lots of exaggeration, it will makes us think about our own bad habits and the ways they influence our relationships. The National Collection of Bad Habits, directed by Tomáš Dianiška, will appeal to fans of both theatre contemporary circus alike.

Bosse & Baum, London
Kateřina Šeda’s exhibition "I would name my house the swallow's nest" at Bosse & Baum presents models of houses originally realised for the garden of a home for the elderly in Lower Austria, and presents a view of the project Herzlich Willkommen, realised in Austria between 2019-2021.
The model houses were based on the design of the occupants former homes, and also function as bird houses, becoming a place of focus for the carers and elderly in the home to enjoy. The design, sketches and sculptures were made in close cooperation with individual seniors, who also had a major influence on the final form of their houses. The installation presented at Bosse&Baum in June 2023 will also include series of sketches and photographs relating to the project.
