SpaceLab is organized by the Prague Quadrennial in cooperation with students from YORK University in Toronto (YORKU), Theatre School at DePaul University in Chicago (DePaul), The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London (RCSSD) and Theatre Faculty of Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (DAMU). The main goal of the SpaceLab project is to initiate the international experimental interaction and personal exchange between theatre and visual academies.

Accompanying program of the festival SpaceLab OFF Program 2015

The official festival program will be completed with concerts and DJs at SpaceLab OFF Stage at Cihlená 4 and a bar on the roof of DISK Theatre.

This year's SpaceLab OFF ten-days-long programme occuppies an unutilised building in the centre of Prague at Vltava riverbank. The venue neighbouring the outdoor club (Cihelná 4) also serves as the meeting point and an entirely particular exhibition space for Prague Quadriennale. Evenings, music: shooting through the new radical wave of Czech independent scene that lists over thirty items - from post-rave electro, live coding, shoegaze, post rock and noise, to electro cabaret with ukulele.

The PQ_privat room complex prepared by the stage designers of Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre DAMU transforms the building into a unique interactive installation. Through the atmosphere of a creative, multi-branched, vivacious and futuristically aimed post-squat Zlomvaz & PQ create a totally extraordinary event of cultural entertainment in Prague 2015.
