ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE 

3 short circus miniatures x 1 composed evening in the rhythm of Letní Letná

Salt or Pepper?

What happens when two artists meet in small room? Is there a space for both ofthem? Will they find a way to cooperate? Short piece by Michaela Stará andd Filip Zahradnický presents various languages of object manipulation, juggling and dance, creating playful collage of surreal interactions.

Stick with Us

The circus duo Aleš Hrdlička and Hannah Lennox bring a mix of their different disciplines, which together struggle with gravity in this modern version of a classic cabaret performance.

The Czech-Scottish Duo and their combination of floor and pair acrobatics, juggling, balance and handstand.

CARCASSE

Textile, gestural and magical performance about women's clothing.

What a woman must wear to be... taken seriously, comfortable, not too vulgar, not too strict, pretty, sexy, attractive but not too..., beautiful, fashionable, up-to-date, appropriate, presentable, drinkable, feminine, striking, not too extravagant?
In her new upcoming project Carcasse, artist Morgane Widmer explores the social and environmental impact of women's clothing.

Ways of dressing reveal political and cultural practices; they refer to standardised social behaviour, to the culture of appearance and to ideological constructs; in this sense, the way we dress and look is a sign of identity. In this work, artist Morgane Widmer plays with these codes.
