HOMEWORK FROM DILIGENCE – ROUND 30

or Never believe anyone who is over thirty!
performance length: 90 min
A hit parade of dance and motion theatre
Dear spectator,
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the very last round of your favourite hit-chart. We have reached the point of credibility with our 30th show, and the time has come to end the series. This is thus an invitation to the very last round, where we will be handing out the rest of our rubber foam awards.

Yours Jan Beneš, Jan Dorner, Jan Kalivoda, and Vojta Švejda.

The task is easy: to compose choreography based on any theme, out of diligence. The limits are negotiable: one sound motif, one scenic component, a compact concept. The maximum length per choreographic piece is 20 minutes. From four performances in one evening, all connected with short sketches of moderators, the audience chooses which one goes to the next round. One choreography can only win three times in a row. Three wins gets the Foam Rubber Trophy. Plagiarism allowed!

Homework from Diligence proves that physical and dance theatre can be a successful genre in the Czech Republic. Apart from a unique show of talented local and foreign artists, the hit-chart offers a liberating outlook, self-irony, and sense of humour, which is why it attracts even those who do not have any previous experience with alternative theatre.
