MEDIATHEK

The musicians and dancers live on two totally different planets. This performance tries to tear down the barriers that usually stand between these two worlds.

It is an attempt to get the musicians and dancers inhabitate one space together, not just one next to another. The musicians set their bodies into movement that is sometimes physically quite demanding for them.

Also, the electronics involved gets beyond its standart place within a staged work. This time it does not only sound, it becomes a performer – it moves a metal plate or small objects, sets wood into vibrations… We are similar – a moving mass of muscles and bones, breathing, loving, resonating, imprinting our vibrations in time…

One of the strongest driving forces of the project has been the issue of getting to know and accepting new environments. To dive into the unknown, discovering the new with humour and without senseless fright. The world around us changes then too.

"Such is destiny that there is no stability without trembling.“ [Vladimír Holan]

(First half of the evening may consist of a rarely shown short film by Peter Greenaway “M is for Man, Music, Mozart” with music by Louis Andriessen performed live by the BERG Orchestra and mezzo-soprano Markéta Cukrová.)
