Accent

(Akcent) based on the book the Confusion of tongues (Rozviazané jazyky) by Jozef Tancer

Step into the echoes of time with Accent, a compelling performance that breathes life into the memories of Bratislava—Pozsonny—Pressburg’s elders. Through their voices, we uncover a city transformed by history, shaped by upheavals, and enriched by resilience. Each story offers a glimpse into the 20th century—a time of change, challenges, and cherished moments.

The stories of elderly people are often fragmented and tedious. Should we listen to them? Names and dates blur together, and for older Pressburgers, even languages intertwine.

How will you tell your grandchildren about today? About your wedding? Your everyday life in your city? In which language will you share your story—provided that your mouth still obeys your mind?

Don’t miss this unique exploration of Bratislava’s soul. Be part of the conversation. Be part of Accent.
