The Old Town Hall in Brno once served as the seat of municipal administration — housing offices, an archive, a court, and even a prison. Today, the building accommodates the TIC Gallery, the tourist information centre, and the Club of Brno City Councillors, a space visited daily by hundreds of people for a wide range of activities. The building is also part of a long-term site-specific project by Terén in Brno, which organised numerous performative and collective interventions.
What happens in the building after the daytime noise fades? What sounds linger in the empty halls, and who moves through them when the rooms fall silent?
The story follows a worker who has a secret hobby while cleaning this historic building, based on a true story. The dramaturgy and text were developed in collaboration with Terén, the Field for Performing Arts, and curators Amálie Bulandrová and Jana Mikuš Hanzelová.
