All for Love / One More Dance

All for Love

The dance-acrobatic performance All for Love explores love in all its forms—as a force that connects us, but also as a space filled with paradoxes, illusions, and boundaries. Through situations inspired by real-life relationships, it reveals moments of intimacy, vulnerability, and tension.

The production combines contemporary dance, acrobatics, and physical theatre into a mosaic of images and situations that are both raw and playful. It raises questions about everything we are capable of doing “for love” — and the point at which we lose ourselves in the process.

At the LL Festival, All for Love will be presented midway through its creative development process. The premiere is scheduled for November 5 at the auditorium of Dejvické Theatre – the Galaxie Cultural Station.

The project is supported by the City of Prague, DanceConnected, the Artist’s Life Foundation, KD Mlejn, CIRQUEON, and Žižkostel.

One More Dance

This short acrobatic project, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s The Pit and the Pendulum, portrays the final dance of a human being before departing from this world. The pendulum, silently slicing through the heavy air, counts down the last moments among the living.

Death, arriving in the midst of its routine task of collecting another soul, encounters unexpected resistance. Driven by the desire to postpone the inevitable, the human challenges Death to a dance. Death transforms, becoming a glowing red partner emerging from the darkness itself.

The poor soul, however, does not realize that no matter how wild and passionate the dance may become, it will be their last.
