Orchestr BERG & 420PEOPLE, INspiraCe (Eröffnung Tschechisch-Deutsche Kulturtage)

In the organizer's words:

On October 30, the Czech orchestra BERG, one of the leading international ensembles for contemporary music, will open the 27th Czech-German Culture Days. Inspired by the famous composition "In C" by the American minimalist Terry Riley, BERG, together with composer Tomáš Reindl, choreographer Sylva Šafková and the dance company 420PEOPLE, developed the project "INspiraCe" - an energetic concert performance that combines minimalism, beatbox, dubstep and contemporary dance with an impressive light sculpture.

Breath is a central element of the performance. Šafková thus takes up one of the original meanings of the word "inspiration". The deliberate use of capital letters in the title also refers to the influence of Riley's composition.

Since 2007, 420PEOPLE has stood for contemporary dance at the highest level - characterized by professionalism, originality, playful reflection and artistic courage. The company is just as present on stage as it is in dance films and online streams.

Orchestr BERG, which specializes in contemporary music, has premiered almost 300 works since its foundation, mainly by young Czech composers. It often combines music with other art forms such as dance, theater, visual arts and film. The orchestra is also a pioneer in presenting new music outside of classical concert halls - for example in industrial buildings or even in a subway station under construction in Prague.

An event of the Czech-German Cultural Days 2025 in cooperation with HELLERAU. Tickets are available via the Czech-German Cultural Days.
