Matrioshka is a multi-genre festival that, through arts and culture, promotes the need for the active protection of the democratic values and shows the key role of a free civil society in shaping democracy. The festival is primarily targeting the younger generation (age 15 to 30), helping them to understand the importance of critical thinking and bringing the awareness of the absurdity of totalitarian regimes Matrioshka is meant also to foster a debate on dominant moral and political issues in the contemporary world – and on Slovakia´s position in it – in a clear, communicative, and modern way. Within this seven-day festival, we plan to organize events in the following cultural types: exhibition , theatre performance, discussion, lecture, educational quiz, literature (public reading).
