The Secret Life of Old People (La vie secrète des vieux)

Does love die as the end of life is nighing? This show takes us on a journey to meet the elderly – or, more directly, old men and women – to discuss their love stories. As people are aging, they are facing the regard of the society, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the reality of their worn-out bodies changing day by day. And yet, very often, love is still alive. And even more so is the desire, sometimes going hand in hand with reinvented sexuality. No longer subjected to the need to perform or to social pressure, it gains its own rhythm, its own pace, its own fragile intimacy, nonetheless remains equally intense. These encounters with the elderly will teach us how to enjoy love. 

To produce this piece, Mohamed El Khatib collected the narrations of elderly people from all walks of life, from which he has woven a story reflecting a wide range of amorous experiences. This landscape of love in old age will provide a nostalgic backdrop for our romantic recollections, but it will also hold out a promise that desire can nestle in the fragility of our lives until our last breath. 

In French with Czech and English surtitles. Suitable for the audience from the age of 15.

Caravan of LUV: Healing Prague

Has the time come for Woodstock 3.0? How can we respond to the world in these tumultuous times?

It is said that there are over 110 million love songs, and about two thousand are added every day. Elia Rediger and his band created a curative ritual, where they heal broken hearts and tormented souls with love. During their European tour, Caravan of LUV play their Late Night Shows, welcoming special local guests, with the sole purpose – to alleviate the sorrows. The motto of their stop in the Czech Republic is Healing Prague!

The hosting of this performance was made possible thanks to PROSPERO NEW Platform, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.

Suitable for the audience from the age of 16.
