YoutubeBazaar Festival: CLOUDS / Handa Gote Research and Development (CZ)
performance length: min
no language barrier
Handa Gote continues to work with “little histories“, this time turning to one of its own member‘s personal archives. Veronika Švábová sifts through the history of her family seeking both the fateful moments and seeming trivialities that have survived in family members‘ memories to this day, that are the fabric of family community. Clouds is a subjective study of one’s own family, a series of scenes without causal association, not unlike those fragments of past events that make up our own memories.
Performance takes place at Alfred ve dvoře Theatre as a part of the Bazaar Festival.
APOLOGIES - TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT AREN'T AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE, BUT ONLY ON GOOUT.CZ. Performance is in Czech with English subtitles.
How did our ancestors influence our own lives? What have they told us and what have they kept secret? What happened in their lives and fates that repeats itself in ours? What mistakes do we make again and again without learning from them, just like they did? Which aspects of our personalities are inherited from them? What information from the past do we carry in the body? And just what will this body look like in twenty years, if it is still here at all? What results of what actions or events do we carry on into our lives? What do we really remember and what is just our imagination? What does family actually mean today? And who still knows how to bake “mraky“?
Prepared by: Veronika Švábová, Tomáš Procházka, Jakub Hybler, Robert Smolík
Handa Gote Research & Development is devoted to experiment with dramaturgy, the inclusion of non-theatre elements in its work and the development of its own concept of post-dramatic and post-spectacular theatre. For many years the group has taken inspiration from science and technology. The group conducts continuous research of theatrical language, laboratory work in the fields of sound and light design, all the while questioning these disciplines. (The group promotes the use of the terms visual dramaturgy and light dramaturgy over the term “design“.)
