An event of devotion. For ever and ever.
Until Forever – an unbreakable spell, unbreakable bond. In its mythical simplicity, it creates a true commitment. Y Events, the time-space for performances of all kinds, are joining forces with Temple Of – a collective of immigrant artists, performers and DJs of Prague from Southwest & Central Asia, North Africa and beyond.
Together, we (they) are opening a 24-hour-long temporary realm: perfect for tireless revolutionaries, friends and lovers, chosen families, warm-hearted punks, folklore addicts, witches and weirdos, introverts and their allies. We (the event) invite(s) you to slow down, to care for yourself and your beloveds, and to dream together about the past, present and the future. Through sound, art, storytelling and community, Until Forever reminds us that we are here together - not only for a night, but for always. We’re here and we’re not going anywhere. Forever and ever.
