22 conference chairs, obsessive rhythm and one determined man. A production that moves between installation, performance, dance and circus in an entertaining way shows that even objects of everyday life can be transformed into incredible pieces of architecture. PLI follows the Baroque philosophy of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, but the robustness and ostentatiousness of the time is replaced by the simplicity and minimalism of the scenic design.

PLI won the Main Award and the Spectators Award at the Czech Dance Platform in 2019 and will be presented as part of the Aerowaves Spring Forward 2020 in Rijeka.

 

For all regardless of age. Children welcome, when accompanied by adults.
