How about taking the kids away from their ipads and phones and taking them to the theatre? Nová scéna Theatre has prepared a musical adaptation of the world-famous novel Oliver Twist, directed by Stano Slovák. The powerful story about children and adults who were not destined to be born into happy and festive conditions contains much that is touching, humorous, but also harsh. Expect beautiful melodies, brilliantly portrayed characters from London’s underworld, super performances from the small cast and lots of fun.
For anime lovers, we have a great event this month. Over the weekend of March 22nd you can look forward to the long-awaited AnimeSHOW, which will take place in the House of Culture Ružinov.

It is a tradition that the first Saturday of the month belongs to Burzoblšák, and this month will be no different. On Saturday, March 2, you’ll be able to stop by this community event to support an eco-friendly swap of clothing as well as handmade products, records or antiques. After all, who wouldn’t already want to find and take home something beautiful and, most importantly, organically sourced. Of course, there will also be refreshment stalls, in case you get hungry after the endless search for the best pieces.
For fans of crime fiction and for those who are fascinated by psychology, we have an interesting event. On Wednesday, March 6, there will be a lecture at Kacečko in Kamenné náměstí where you will be able to learn more about what leads people to commit violent crime and why some of them feel the need to repeat their actions. The lecture will be led by former investigator, profiler and criminal profiler Matej Snopek, who will give us an insight into the world of serial killers and their victims. At the event you will also learn things such as what is the modus operandi, what prompts the choice of the murder weapon and how these perpetrators find their victims.
