Concert: Křečový žíly revival, Ostrý zub, FXŠ DJ + VJ
A Saturday night concert evening at Restaurace Na Střelnici. Pavel Havrda founded a revival of the band Křečový žíly after discovering, in the Libri prohibiti archive, its recording of a 1985 concert at Třemešek near Uničov. It performed together with the band Ostrý zub, with which the Olomouc artist and performer Vladimír Havlík returned to Uničov a year after trying to take root in the Uničov park during the previous festival. The evening was rounded off by DJ Tuhle písničku chtěl bych ti láska dát + VJ.

Olomouc artist Vladimír Havlík (1959) has been present at every edition of the festival. At the first, as part of Jan Freiberg’s curatorial project Sad (Orchard), he realized Jako strom (Like a Tree), an action he had conceived long before; at the second, he sang with his band Ostrý zub. Havlík came to Olomouc to study and stayed. The strong retrospective tension in his current work plays out through collaboration.
