Memory versus the presence of a place – the railway station Žilina-Záriečie; from here, Jews from the Slovak State were deported during the second world war.
In the waiting-room, a place in-between, „accidental“ travellers meet and the dead return, not by accident. In this banal triangle of relations, private violence accumulates, evoking the unhealed historical trauma, which is still the root of silent nationalism.
We find ourselves in the place of central-European conscience, where – accompanied by the tones of Slovak tango – we meet the ghosts of those to whom we have not said good-bye.

In the hallucinatory pictures, where the dead meet the alive, past shame lasciviously rubs against present shame. A masterfully and deeply dug finger in the wound of collective (un)memory!
Jana Návratová, Reflex, Czech Republic

The peak of the performance is again, however, the unique and characteristic acting of the studio´s members, acting that brings about… intense, almost psychosomatic experience in the audience. What is remarkable is especially the ability to articulate through physical action – even the most abstract pictures and feelings…
Tereza Vinická, Lidové noviny, Czech Republic

This theatre hurts, because it is able – directly in front of the eyes of the audience – to reveal the crime and quilt both of the past and our immediate presence. A forgotten railway station? In this railway station, the world awaits.
Matthias Hassenpflug, UNIDRAM, Germany

Farm in the Cave. An international theatre studio focused on the creation, development and research of human expression. It is defined by the relations between I-you, body-voice, culture-nature, public-intimacy, research-creation. It looks for a bodily articulation of that which cannot be expressed by word, by any other medium.
Inspiration is drawn from the irregular terrain of music, from the torsos of cultural manifestations, from the human touch, from the architecture of space and a personal statement. The ensemble speaks about those realities which its members consider personally and socially appealing. The studio works under the leadership of its founder – director Viliam Dočolomanský.
An integral part of Farm in the Cave´s work is not only creation of performances, but also educational activities, basic research of actors´ art and selected cultural minorities.
The studio started to form itself in 2001, during the preparation of Lorca project in Prague. The title Farm in the Cave is the literal translation of the Arabic word daimuz, which was the name of Lorca´s family farm.
