Czech version with printed English translation.

Here the audiences may learn what you could encounter during the apparently good-natured visit of a married couple beyond the bearability of their relationship. This pair's presentation of itself
as an idealistic, dependable couple deteriorates into a series of absurd manipulations, mutual provocations and regrets related to their past together. The feelings of embarrassment caused by our insight into this couple's intimacy lead us to ask whether this, in spite of all its depravity, might not be love as it should be.

In 2010 the Třešňáková- Bárta duo rehearsed their performance
„It is Exactly About ...Not the Paradise” in Amsterdam, Holland. After the Dutch premiere, the Czech premiere followed, at the 4+4 Days
in Motion Festival in Prague.
„It is Exactly About ...Not the Paradise” is still being performed at many international festivals (eg. Opava, Kolín, Budapest). The performance, based on the story of Adam and Eve, provokes the audience itself into activity. With this new work, the theatre makers have chosen
an unconventional route as well, a non-literary approach to text,
and a non-aesthetic approach to movement and the body itself. Dutch artist Milou Veling (Silo Theater) was invited once more to collaborate on the direction and stage design.
