family performance / czech
“Quack! Quack! So I understand it now, it is not important to be the best in the world! To have friends, that is important!” A fairytale about two inseparable friends, two slightly confused frogs, who undergo plenty of adventures and problems. But still they try to solve all the issues like Laurel and Hardy in animal kingdom. Sometimes it is not easy at all. But they never forget about two important things – friendship and fun. Famous story of Arnold Lobel in action puppet version for kids and parents.
“Freedom, coincidence, improvised creation in exterier as a part of profiled poetics. Tandem works with clear antiilusiveness, which is offered by the street atmosphere. Apparent non existence of solid, fixed form which produces desirable hoarse dose of anarchy with obvious recklessness, freedom of unconventional esprit and energetic provocation of two directors in the role of actors.”

discussion seminar
Discussion that will observe what themes resonates in current Slovak theatre and dance through the equation personal≷political. Together with moderators Maja Hriešik and Jari Viňarský, we will reflect what role the theatre and dance have in our society and what are individual choices of the artists between these poles. Do they incline to the personal or artistic questions or are the tendencies socio-critical, influential and activistic? When does the personal meet political in the art? Is each public artistic expression automatically a political act? Does the state of contemporary art reflect state of the society? We will try take a view within broad artistic, but also time and geographic context. The debate guests will be people from various art scenes, as well as each active participate of the discussion.

Sometimes poetic, sometimes scientifically uninvolved or in contrary very personal and expressive narration is changing in the end of play into non verbal voice speech which is an attempt to share non-convertable experience through universal metalanguage.
