Music, movement, the seasons, and humanity – four elements, four moods, four colors forming a single whole. This new project of the MenART Academy has been created for the Smetana Litomyšl Festival as a tribute to nature, the cycle of life, and the order that transcends us. The audience becomes part of the action – each spectator enters the realm of one of the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The scholarship program of the MenART Academy has long supported gifted students of Czech elementary art schools and their teachers, providing a space for meeting and sharing experience. Together with their mentors Jan Ostrý, Jan Fišer, Irvin Venyš, Beata Hlavenková, and Jan Kodet, they will present the results of their joint work while gaining new experience on the festival stage.
