Premiere

An original performance based on non-verbal and object theatre. The main theme is the joy of collaboration in creation and the movement of objects.

The idea for this project emerged collectively from discussions among a team composed of artists from Italy, Slovenia, Slovakia, Chile, Poland, and Japan, as well as students from Czech programs in acting, directing, and dramaturgy at the Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre.

The production team decided to use the spaces of DISK Theatre in an unconventional way, as a living construction site. Throughout the entire performance, an object will be created in front of the audience's eyes."

They created what made them proud, what made them move. And they are looking at it as kids look at something they built on their own. No matter the shape, no matter the resources, no matter the consequences.

Younger children build for fun. Older ones build for realism.

A leaf blower, chairs, bubble wrap, hangers, a door, feathers, an inflatable ball, nails, pallets, a trampoline, a washing machine and lots of rope to pull everything towards the sky!

To build a part of the universe that will move others.
