The piece was created for the festival Nastevřeno Plzeň 2025 currated by Heidi Horňáčková.

What if you spent your wait for a bus in Plzeň not by staring at signs prohibiting almost everything, but by simply settling into a chair where you don’t have to do anything and you are allowed everything? This chair is not merely a more comfortable alternative to the harsh metal seats, but gently massages you with vibrations, calms you with a binaural vocal composition, and gradually sets you resonating to the point that you might even let your bus pass by.

The Plzeň bus station isn’t exactly the most pleasant place to wait. But if you’re not in a hurry and allow yourself to slow down for a moment, a microcosm of details gradually begins to reveal in a bizzare cultural mosaic.
