Animated short films with live music for primary schools and kindergartens

We combine screenings of short animated films with original musical accompaniment created live on stage. The musicians combine electronics with live instruments, and their playing responds to the images on the screen, the mood in the hall, and the children themselves. The performance shows that music is an integral part of film – it makes up half of the film experience, and its changes can fundamentally alter the meaning and tone of scenes. The audience will experience how the same image can become suspenseful, cheerful, or poetic just thanks to the musical accompaniment.

Live music will be performed by musician and composer Petr Wajsar.

Petr Wajsar is a Czech composer who works across a wide range of genres. His work includes not only concert classical music, but also film and theater music. He has collaborated with leading Czech orchestras and institutions (Prague Spring, Czech Philharmonic, FOK, and many others). He is the winner of the 2019 Czech Lion Award for his music for the film Hastrman. He is the leader of the renowned vocal a cappella sextet Skety. In addition, he is a lover of electronic and improvised music, and today you can hear him in two projects: the duo Wayskal and Vejsar, in which he plays with his colleague Michal Vejsak, and in the expanded form of his project Develooper.

The programme is part of a Czech-German programme supported by the Czech-German Fund for the Future.
