Debata pro loutky:
Parting or straight?

Being in power, I am permanently suspicious. And I don't care. Right's good, left's good? Truths know no political geography. As the people are, so is the discussion. Are we parting the velvet or going straight?

For 40 years we were led by the PARTY, now we want to go STRAIGHT. Is our country thriving? Those who don't go with us, go against us. Learn, learn, learn! I have to save this nation, even if they all spit in my eyes. His intention lasted twenty years. Is that better? We go to Moscow to learn how to wring your necks. Give me just one generation of youth and I'll change the whole world.

 If it doesn't work with Nutella, spit Havel in there?

DEBATE FOR PUPPETS
is a project and now a collective, which originated at DAMU and which moved in June to a new cultural space dedicated to young adults, ARCHA+. It is a debate project based on the secret identities of the individual guests. We are interested in how much a person's consciousness of who they are talking to influences their communication. Whether it's based on what they say, how they behave, or even how they look. Therefore, neither the audience nor the moderator of the debate knows the identity of the guests, which opens up the space for a discussion without prejudice and with more openness.

Each Guest is given an 'avatar' or alter ego – a puppet who will perform in his place that evening. A puppet that is neutral, has no recognizable character, and thus allows the viewer to form an opinion of the discussant based solely on their thinking and attitudes. For this reason, the format is called Debate for Puppets.
