Debata pro loutky:
Intimate
We will talk about the quality of sex education in Czech education, about intimacy and exploring its boundaries in the context of today's world. Students will have the opportunity to listen and later ask questions themselves. The debate will be followed by a lecturer's programme, which will actively involve students in the topic and give them the opportunity to absorb it in more depth.

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.
