Initial Brief

" Experience Prague culture, food, music through the gracious hospitality of a wide variety of traders at the St. Anna's church"

Performance Genre
I want to explore the idea of a market place where activities such as trading, bargaining and auctioning takes place in one platform. It would act as a place for locals and tourist to experience the diverse and unique culture of Prague and promote social interaction with one another.

Initial Idea
For this performance i looked into the idea of a Cultural Bazaar. Bazaar is a permanent merchandising area, marketplace, or street of shops where goods and services are exchanged or sold.

    Case Studies
                   1.  The grand bazaar, Istanbul
                   2.  Petaling street, Malaysia 
                   3.  Chinatown, San Francisco, USA 


Program 
  • the bazaar would be a temporary installation 
  • it would act as an International Trade Market once a year in Prague 
  • it will provide a place for trader all over Prague, to come together to show off their trading skills
  • it would also generate trading activities to attract tourist and locals
  •  it would demonstrate the daily life culture, rituals and customs as well as architecture of Prague
