Rigid and in complete opposition to nature. Well, ‘that’s the nature of a factory’, you might say. No matter which of these I choose, one thing is clear for me-the factory part of this festival I feel is too direct, too literal, and too non-poetic. For me it’s these two: ‘factory in motion and IN water’ and ‘factory in motion water’. The second part of the sentence also has some possible interpretations. Also they are called poetics (the choice of word couldn’t be more precise considering the natural and historical narratives that flow through this castle and its surroundings, and the freedom it offers the different art forms and practices that this festival has gathered together). The two aspects that the festival is exploring are shaped into ‘axes’ meaning that they are just spatial directions and a lot can come with them. From my perspective, this sentence is impeccable.
Now I suddenly see this clever sentence on the festival webpage that says: “Two dramaturgical axes are related to site-specific poetics: Factory in Motion and Water”. Choosing to have a theme in my opinion is like giving a hiker a map with marked routes on it. And the reason for my interest is simple-in providing a theme, curators give us a guided path.

I wanted to pay more attention to the curatorial aspects of a festival that’s full of site-specific productions and exploring the metaphor. While I was still at Žďár I chose to look at the festival from the perspective of this years’ theme ‘Factory in Motion and Water’ or as I thought while being there-‘factory and water’.
