The performance on June 16 in Karlovy Vary is unfortunately cancelled due to technical reasons.

 

The Lion's Den unlimited is a special version of the original duet by Sabina Bočková and Johana Pocková, which features fifteen pairs of professional and non-professional dancers. With its strong emotional charge and high intensity, the performance is inspired by the media, populism and their power to manipulate. Its transfer to public space and the involvement of the general public shows the social power of dance as a participatory art that expresses itself on current social issues, and in a fun way.
