Project24 at the Night of Theatres was in the spirit of sustainability

Even though we try to make our productions as sustainable as possible, there is always residual material. And this was not only an inspiration, but especially a material for the creation of three young art school students - designer Kryštof Bača, a student of Fashion and Footwear Design at UMPRUM, sculptor Amelia Dolanska, who combines many artistic talents in her person, and Ondřej Plíva, a student of figurative sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts and a unique draughtsman and painter.

Each of them had to create a unique work of art within 24 hours, which was then presented at the final opening. Materials that would otherwise have no use suddenly became a valuable resource from which something new and valuable was created. 

The students were sponsored by the  Kreativní kampus organisation, which in collaboration with the National organised the event. 

The building was open all day on Saturday 23 March 2024, and visitors were able to watch the work of the young artists at close range, enjoy several artistic performances that culminated in the final opening, or perhaps browse the National Theatre merch from the ND Up series. 

Those who couldn't attend live were able to watch the whole process in an online stream on the National Theatre's social media. As an added bonus, viewers could watch live moderated segments every hour in which National Theatre staff and members of the Kreativní kampus spoke on selected topics related to Sustainability.
