Anyone who wants to join in and like this livestream celebration, taking place on this (not so) private stage that is made to share. A livestream with her beloved followers, straight to the heart of each of those viewers. The screen is the guestlist that can get you into any place that might not be there tomorrow, and in an age when time multiplies itself, the place that unites us is set in our imagination with indestructible pillars. The host, the actress Antonie Formanová, granddaughter of the Czech director Miloš Forman (One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest; Amadeus), might be in that said space, enclosed in bits and bytes, but she's feeding off the connection with her followers that, just by sharing an online platform, are like a (un)real family – both on her and the audience's side. Behind many havens, there’s one that, if not filled by a wi-fi connection, would be dominated by solitude. So, let us not postpone celebrations, because we can still have them today. Isn’t the biggest reason to celebrate the fact that we’re not entirely alone? Photography by Branislav Simoncik. Styling by Nina Ford.
