40 years since birth, 30 years since the revolution – a reflection of one’s own life on the background of a big social change. A dance solo that expresses emotions of a generation that experienced the turn of two eras. A childhood marked by restrictions later loosened. Beating hearts, pulse of one’s own blood that can be heard. A man/woman has matured, one that knows what he/she wants and doesn’t want. The Cold War is not over yet. We live in its shadow. Only the active one and the one who isn’t afraid to show the direction to others can win. The performance is based on the life experience and worldview of 21 significant individuals born between 1979-1980.  

 

Awards:

Reviews:

„…This is a project that cannot be perceived as a mere dance performance. For it doesn’t transcend genres but whole fields. The choreography, research and interpretation are all valuable parts of the production. (…)

Generation X concentrated in one female representative is full of contradictions, both the inner ones and the ones that come from the outside world as she searches for moments of stillness in the middle of chaos; she feels the need to react to impulses without stopping, sometimes sliding on the inner wave of calm. Don’t look for new vocabulary in this choreography. Look for the moment of experiencing, intensity of expression that the viewer receives 100 %..."
