The Cirkopolis final evening presents Eliška Brtnická, who has collaborated with Filip Zahradnický and Alžběta Tichá. Together they created a performance for the Akropolis Palace. Tender, surprising and imaginative!
It used to be a trapeze, it even used to be a juggling ball. Our object is a thin metal bar with a length of 3 meters. It behaves differently, it sways, springs, orbits . How does the body cope with this change? The movement slows down, the body distributes the weight and tries to stabilize. The bar soon responds to the movement of the body by changing its shape, thus creating new conditions of instability. Thin lines draw moving graphics in space, the performer is behind, becoming just an organic weight. This „intuitive physics“ demonstrates the most basic principles of being in the gravitational field of the earth. Satisfactory moments of stabilization versus instability as a physical and mental state that drives things forward. However, the linearity of time can only be an appearance.
