Hey Earth! - Letní Letná 2025

ABOUT

Fascinating journey through movement theater and interpersonal communication.

There are instances of intense strobe lighting and loud music during the performance. If you are sensitive to these stimuli, please exercise caution or consider attending other productions.

The performance Hey, Earth! invites you on a journey into a world where movement theater, new circus, and visual art blend together. You'll find yourself in an environment rich with rituals, fantasy, and a quest for understanding, where every movement and object on stage carries meaning.

This experimental project by Cirk La Putyka and director Thomas Steyaert deliberately steps outside audience expectations. It explores the boundaries of human communication, creating tension not only through acrobatic feats but also through minimalism, silence, and static imagery. The stage, filled with objects that performers use to build and deconstruct the world around them, opens a new space for imagination.

Unlike traditional circus performances, where one act follows another, here the circus appears and disappears, helping to create unique emotions. The performance continues the exploration seen in previous Cirk La Putyka projects, such as Black Black Woods or Hit, Tell the Difference.

Hey, Earth! offers not only a visual experience but also deep reflection on human values and relationships in a time of conflict and uncertainty. The atmosphere is enhanced by the music of Jan Balcar and Veronika Linhartová.

Come experiment with us and discover a world where every detail tells a different story.
