Performance description
Four female performers on the edge of physical possibilities. Two musicians creating a volley of emotions and endless energy. Two worlds driving each other forward.
Speed, strength, resilience, strike, endurance, target, fire, good night! Who says that violence is not the answer? And who is stopping me?
A nation of mythical women, warriors. Their furious power and ruthlessness gave rise to both mythological and real stories. An organised group of women focusing on their inner perfection and fight, driven by the „messianic“ truth to generating new and new conflicts, predators living in a constant tension with the rest of the world. A crooked community that ruled out men from their lives, training to fight and contempt, feeding its members an extreme vision that requires devotional piety on the edge of a cult. Newcomers with a feeling of emotional insufficiency, looking for a place for unfulfilled self-realisation, a place to take refuge from their dark past, a place to belong to. The sick and perverted philosophy does not last long. Asfast as the philosophy evolves, it becomes self-destructive.
