The Good Times Are Over / Dobre už bolo, Karol Filo & Co.

In the organizer's words:

"A raw yet intimate testimony of the issue of the generational gap...The deeply personal work concentrated on the feeling of the younger generation, which will live in a world and country hitherto defined mainly by the decisions of the grandfather's generation." - Lea Valentová for theatrical journal kød

A young art student has come to his home village for a long weekend to discuss the future of the world with his grandfather, a retired farmer and former regional chairman of the Communist Party. The dialog, which ranges from family relationships to the past and future of society, takes place against the backdrop of the Slovakian parliamentary elections in autumn 2023. Both are confronted with the views of the other and yet try to find each other. An audiovisual performance as an exploration of a relationship, as a meeting of two historical-social experiences, as an attempt to find out to what extent we are shaped by our environment.
