Expose yourself to the glittering surface and reflect your impression of me. There is a desire in me to slip in front of you and start laughing inappropriately. In the confrontation, we call the uncertainty and give embarrassment the green light. We are deadly serious, it’s the REAL DEAL BABY! But when will we be able to finally relax? This this this this play is not a play anymore. 

 

Play, interplay, ending and often even defeat – the oscillation between tandem and rival position, support and loss of support, loneliness and acceptance of the other. How easy and difficult it is to be honest, how tempting it is to slip into a sincerity that is calculating and self-beautifying. Dis play is a disjointed game of distorted non-existent rules reflected in the fluid mass of time.

 

The performance includes interaction with the audience.

She is the creator of transFormace, Nymfa, Chiaroscuro Hédonistico, DeProfundis and Growth. As a dancer, she collaborated on the projects White Piece (chor.: Sofia Krantz, Jerusalem Days), Pulsar (chor.: Michal Záhora) and Vyprovokuj (se) tancem! (author: Michal Nikodem).
