Performances
Harey
A duo of a female dancer and a musician, inspired by Stanisław Lems novel Solaris. The musician performs live music, using the sounds to analyse the dancers body and emotionality, attempting to reveal the mysteries of her existence.
Oedipus
The performance combines several images from the life of King Oedipus and is an interpretation of Sophocles Oedipus the King. Destiny, sin and death the ancient story of Oedipus, Jocasta, Laius and Antigone.
Blink of an Eye
Reflections based on contemporary plays In the Solitude of Cotton Fields by Bernard-Marie Kolts and Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love by Brad Fraser, as well as by Salman Rushdies works and Martin Scorseses film After Hours. The performance seeks an answer to the question what the life of a contemporary young man in a big city is like… the need for new experiences, fast changes, extreme emotions…
The Gentle Spirit
A performance based on a short story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Its creators are interested in silence the source of suffering of the storys main characters. The analysis of silence as discontinuation of communication between two people, the spouses condemned to each others company, is the most interesting task of this performance.
