Debata pro loutky:
Do you want it?

debate puppets Tickets
The Debate for Puppets Collective brings a unique debate format to contemporary issues in which the audience does not know the identity of the debaters! This time on the topic of feminism, the silent revolution of women and harassment.

Czech politics is a male open-air museum. But now there is a quiet revolution of women, and women politicians are no longer afraid to talk about their adherence to feminist ideas. But what about those who have failed? Those who wanted to get into politics and failed? Well, they've got aces up their sleeve.

'Girls lie,' Dominik Feri raged.

Very often a woman's report of sexual violence is fabricated. Very often.' said the police chief. Do we perceive sex to mean that we have a penis, we have a vagina and there is some penetration? What is sex really? And if young people aren't having enough of it, should we be 'sounding the alarm'?

Why didn't you resist rape? 'I was holding onto a ladder with one hand and holding my skirt up with the other.' You don't need it, but you want it. Do you really want it, or do you just want it?

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.
