HOMEWORKS FROM DILIGENCE – ROUNDE 25

The 25th round of the never-ending cult hit-chart of dance and physical theatre. From the last round we have the Kalivoda-Svejda-Prochazka trio with their unbound performance BORN TO BE WILD and the MARYJA dance group directed by Jana Matouskova, this time performing a little bit INKOGNITO. New in this round will be the vigorous solo performance by Filip Canov THE HORSE YEAR and HARAPESE IN THE FOREST - the 1st part of endless trilogy about adventures of one poet, performed by HARAPESE V LESE.

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 uniform concept. The maximum length of the choreography is 20 minutes. From four performances in one evening, all connected with short sketches of cunning moderators, the audience chooses who goes through to the next round. One piece of choreography can win no more than three times in a row. The three continuous wins are awarded the Foam Rubber Trophy. PLAGIARISING ALLOWED!

The Homework from Diligence series of performances proves physical and dance theatre could 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. That is why it attracts even those who do not have any previous experience with alternative theatre.
