Choreographer: Barbora Ptáčková, SPOLKPerformance description
"Crevice: Penetrations"*
We’ve ended up in a place where touch is but an empty trace. Reality and dreams have merged. We no longer recognize the border between our bodies and the space around us. Something must have happened… To us, to the world, to me.
Authorial dance piece Crevice: Penetrations originated as part of the project Unestablished by the tandem formation, Pulsar – Honza Malík and Tereza Krčálová. The project creates space for young authors to engage in artistic dialogue as well as strengthening their artistic, producing and curating skills. The performance gives us a chance to catch a glimpse of current topics resonating in the generation of those in their twenties. It’s an artistic statement that was born out of a subjective experience of the world, and later transformed into a scientific and civic discourse, in which the engagement of individual attitudes and views causes tension that springs from the knowledge that our reality is no longer based on dialogue.
*"Excuse me!"
Accelerated time. Nobody has time to wait. From time to time everybody has to involuntarily stop. But omnipresent stress and rush forces people to keep running. Just because somebody is standing still, doesn’t mean they're not in a hurry. Whatever stops us, it awakes strong emotions.
Endless waiting and acute stress as an impulse for negative manifestation of the human act. The production brings feedback of people themselves, their expressions, reactions and defense mechanisms to cope with stressful situations. The production mirrors this acute problem of our society with a dose of ease and humor.
