Jan Mocek’s projects lie on the boundary between theatre and visual art. In his performances, he brings to the table contemporary themes in all of their complexity and ambiguity, but, at the same time, he offers his audience an emotionally atmospheric and strongly sensual experience. The Radiant Cities (2016), Shadow Meadow (2017) , Fatherland (2018) are his latest performances presented nationally and internationally at festivals such as Submerge Digital Arts festival Bristol, Fast Forward Dresden, 4+4 Days in Motion Prague or Use the City Košice to name but a few.
