PINKBUS FESTIVAL 2026 – FORWARD MARCH!
3–14 Nov 2026 · Venuše ve Švehlovce, Slavíkova 22, Prague 3
PINKBUS Festival is a festival of queer art that brings together theatre, dance, drag, music, visual art, performance, and other contemporary forms. It creates a space for meeting, experimentation and the sharing of experiences, while also opening a new season for the PINKBUS platform.
This year’s edition, under the motto Forward March!, emerges from the need to keep moving forward, even as the current social and political situation provides many reasons for uncertainty. At the same time, it reflects on the responsibility that comes with growth and continuous production — towards audiences, artists and the platform itself.

Nicolás Poggi: Sudor
Czech premiere. A sweaty, ecstatic, and unsettling post-performative experience where bodies push beyond their limits and desire moves between the public and the private. A party, a climax, and a voyeuristic encounter with the most animalistic side of the body.

Concept & direction: Nicolás Poggi
Set design and spatial dramaturgy: Giselle Hauscarriaga
