Actual: Sabotanic Garden rumbles back to Czech Republic with giant two part performance. Extensive group of Finnish, Czech and other international artists gather up for two very special evenings at Alfred ve dvoře stage in Prague.

Orgy in Rhythm is mighty semi-improvisational performance meltdown with experimental music, live projections, contemporary physical theatre, post-tribal masks, obscure objects and poetry - seen as psychedelic everchanging organic fresco, radiating the spirit of early avantgarde.

Sabotanic Garden's stage hoodoo bends from old school noise to exotica - from ghost parade to fruit dance - from vegetarian percussion music to erratic bipolar outbrakes - gazed upon by all-reaching and relentless imaginary vapour.

2 X 3 = 1 means that each of two evenings are three hours long - first hour of both will be performed without the presence of the audience - only the combination of two will create the full experience! Don't miss either one!
