SUMMARY:Theatre Performance: Telephone Conversations with Ernst Jandl
DESCRIPTION:The Austrian Cultural Forum London welcomes renowned Austrian playwright Stephan Bruckmeier and his one-man theatre show Telephone Conversations with Ernst Jandl for the first time in London. \nThis play is based on phone calls between Ernst Jandl and his editor Klaus Siblevsky. Towards the end of Jandl’s life\, the telephone was the only medium with which Ernst Jandl could still communicate with the outside world. They talked about everything\, helping us understand how Ernst Jandl lived and worked. The calls were incredibly moving and provided a rare insight into the late Austrian poet and author’s private thoughts and concerns. Later\, they were adapted into a book in cooperation with Jandl’s long-time-partner Friederike Mayröcker. Stephan Bruckmeier\, who knew Ernst Jandl personally and had a close relationship with him since 1988\, adapted the book for the stage. He performed Telephone conversations with Ernst Jandl more than 100 times during its run from 2007–2009. \nOn the occasion of the centenary of Jandl’s birthday\, we are proud to present this intimate play for the first time in London. Don’t miss this very touching\, sometimes funny\, sometimes sad tribute to a famous Austrian wordsmith. \n\nThe performance is fully accessible for a non-German speaking audience. Programmes in English will be provided. \n\n\nWritten by and starring: Stephan Bruckmeier \nMusic: Petra Pirolt (guitar) \n© Kiepenheuer Theaterverlag \n\nStephan Bruckmeier was born in 1962. Since 1985 he worked as a director\, actor and stage designer for theatre in Austria\, Germany\, USA\, Kenya\, Mozambique\, France and Hungary. He directed more than 200 theatre productions. He had close ties to Jandl since 1988.

SUMMARY:Call Me Stratos: In Conversation with the author
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Chrysoula Georgoula’s debut novel\, followed by a discussion on modern challenges in Greece and a Q&A session. Call Me Stratos follows a man profoundly impacted by Greece’s financial crisis. The novel offers a powerful glimpse into the country’s recent turbulent history—from the Olympic Games to the economic collapse—highlighting the struggles of the working class.\n\nAfter a dramatic divorce\, and at the age of forty-two\, Stratos Achtidis returns to his family home to live with his mother and brother. Humiliated and feeling isolated from family and friends\, he turns to alcohol and reminisces about an over-glorified past. Through Stratos’s eyes\, the reader witnesses the social and economic transformations that have shaped Greek society over the past twenty-five years. The novel explores the struggles of ordinary working-class Greeks\, who have faced profound existential and financial challenges\, and the resulting shifts in their way of life.  \n\nGeorgoula delivers a pitch-perfect portrayal of the male psyche—particularly a certain kind of Greek male—with often brutal authenticity. Call Me Stratos is not just a compelling read; it is a powerful depiction of some of the most significant issues affecting Greek society.\n\nThe conversation will be led by Dr. Liana Giannakopoulou\, Senior Research Fellow at the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics\, University of Cambridge.’ \n\nIn collaboration with Istros books.

SUMMARY:Maria Theresa in Bohemia\, a Talk by Richard Bassett

SUMMARY:Every Minute Motherland Dance Performance + Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Every Minute Motherland is a dance performance created by Maciej Kuźmiński and devised using documentary methods in response to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and the ensuing refugee crisis. The piece was developed in collaboration with a Polish-Ukrainian team – including refugees – and dramaturg Paul Bargetto.\nThe work is inspired by the personal stories of the dancers and rooted in extensive laboratory-based research. It explores the effects of trauma\, exile\, and alienation\, framed by broader themes of war\, identity\, and the inescapable forces of history and geography. \nAgainst the numbing backdrop of televised and social media coverage\, the performance shifts our focus to the bodies of the witnesses – their lived experiences transcribed into movement and time\, reaching toward the spirit of ritual and myth. \nFrom Mariupol to Kharkiv\, and across every place touched by war\, artists and cultural institutions have been deliberately targeted in attempts to erase Ukrainian national identity. This project stands as an act of resistance against these crimes and a powerful statement of solidarity with Ukraine.\n\nPresented by Polish Cultural Institute in London and Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of UK/Poland Season 2025.\nReviews of Every Minute Motherland \n“The piece\, was as oppressive as it was fascinating. […] Horrific in statement\, frighteningly beautiful in artistic execution.” \nHelmut Jasny \n“It is an evening that leaves the emotions on the stage and invites the audience to watch this meditation on mourning. Everything remains incomprehensible and at the same time directly touching.” \nTorben Ibs \n \nAbout Maciej Kuzminski \nMaciej Kuźmiński\, born in 1985\, is a freelance Polish choreographer creating since 2014. \nHis works are described as pure\, with grounded\, dynamic movement\, and revolve around existential and philosophy concepts. The artist’s creations have been presented over 300 times in 22 countries\, gradually gaining international recognition. The artist has choreographed for companies like Staatstheater Kassel\, Scapino Ballet Rotterdam\, Polish Dance Theatre\, and conservatoires like Trinity Laban\, Codarts and PERA among others. \nHis independent pieces made for Maciej Kuźmiński Company have received more than 30 awards for choreography\, making Kuźmiński one of the most often awarded Polish dance creator. After the premiere Every Minute Motherland was already presented in Luxembourg\, Vilnius\, Munster\, Munich\, Potsdam\, Cologne\, Gera\, Berlin\, Olomouc\, Maastricht\, Darmstadt\, Liege and had a tour within Poland. According to a review of German dance critic Melanie Suchy\, published in December 2022\, the piece was a “play of the year”.

SUMMARY:Design and Transformations: An Outdoor Photographic Exhibition by Vojtech Veskrna
DESCRIPTION:This outdoor exhibition by photographer Vojtěch Veškrna complements Design and Transformation. Stories of Czech Design 1990–2020\, on view at the Czech Centre’s Bouda Gallery. Installed in the public space outside the Czech Embassy\, the series offers a visually rich\, behind-the-scenes look into twelve Czech companies where design plays a central role in shaping both products and identity. \nVeškrna’s photographs move beyond polished final outcomes to focus on the environments\, materials\, and people that define contemporary Czech design. His lens captures the quiet rhythms of daily production\, the tactile beauty of traditional techniques\, and the innovation driving forward-thinking industries—from porcelain workshops and textile printers to medical technology and game development studios. This body of work reveals design as a living process—deeply rooted in craft\, constantly evolving\, and inseparable from the cultural and industrial landscape it inhabits. \nCoorganised by the Czech Centre London and the Academy of Arts\, Architecture and Design in Prague UMPRUM. Supported by the Moravian Gallery Brno. \nFoto Vojtěch Veškrna\, Mmcité \nOutdoor exhibition on the fence of the Czech Embassy\n26 – 30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London W8 4QY\nFree access 24/7

SUMMARY:NEW SITE-SPECIFIC EXHIBITION BY LINA LAPELYTĖ at The Cosmic House
DESCRIPTION:The Cosmic House launches a new site-specific performative and musical video work by artist and composer Lina Lapelytė. In The Dark\, We Play (2025) is composed and performed in collaboration with Nouria Bah\, Anat Ben-David\, Angharad Davies\, Sharon Gal\, and Rebecca Horrox\, a group of musicians and artists with whom Lapelytė previously created the musical performance piece Candy Shop (2013). Lina Lapelytė is part of the creative team responsible for the opera and indoor beach installation\, Sun & Sea (Marina) which won the Golden Lion for the best national pavilion presentation at the 2019 Venice Biennale.  \n\n\n\nLapelytė’s work shifts our perspective to see The Cosmic House\, Charles Jencks’ former home and post-modernist manifesto\, as a theatrical stage and a collage of musical contraptions. Taking inspiration from the polyphonous ambition of this work\, but weaving in new contemporary voices\, Lapelytė and her collaborators foreground the mundane and sensory\, and invite intimate engagement with the house through their divergent elucidations of the cosmic. The resulting work is an intricate interplay of quotations and a layered dialogue between past and present\, the intellectual and the sensory\, the cosmic and the human. A series of filmed fragments follow the performers as they ponder\, commune\, and weave new interpretations of cosmic themes. They playfully inhabit the house\, drawing out some details and symbols and sliding past others—like the orbit of a singing comet that comes tantalisingly close before arching far away into mystery. \n\n\n\nIn partnership with the Lithuanian Culture Institute. \n\n\n\nMore information: Exhibitions – The Cosmic House \n\n\n\nImage: : Lina Lapelytė\, conceived in collaboration with Nouria Bah\, Anat Ben-David\, Angharad Davies\, Sharon Gal\, Rebecca Horrox\, and Martynas Norvaišas\, In the Dark\, We Play\, 2025\, video still by Martynas Norvaišas\, commissioned by the Jencks Foundation at The Cosmic House
