Performance description
The project Up'End'Down* by the Cirk La Putyka is a follow-up of the previous La Putyka show developing its genre but with one big difference: none of our actors, dancers and athletes was involved with the circus disciplines chosen for the new project (teeter board, silks, ropes, straps, wu-shu) before the rehearsals for the show began.
The show tells the story of a man living uniquely with his memories. He lives through his flights and falls but is unable to break free from the luggage he carries in himself to live in a relaxed and liberated way. *Up'End'Down* is looking at the journey from birth to death, the journey from the earth to the heaven and back through the prism of our fantasy. A crossroads between two streets, between heaven and earth, between the memories and the present, between smile and tears, taking off and falling. A crossroad of genres.
*Up'End'Down* has appeared at the festival „Janvier dans les étoiles“ (La Seyne Sur Mer). As well, this production has been invited at the Festival Roundhouse (London) and Festival des 7 collines (Saint-Etienne).
*Partialy in Czech.
Length: 75 min
