TABLE CULTURE

A meeting of seven female dancers whose motto is: don’t pretend to be anyone but yourself. Director and choreographer Jan Komárek presents the performers with situations which provoke them to explore their own authorial abilities. Their relationships are constantly changing. They do some things together, another time there are several simultaneous events happening on the stage. We see a character and sense for concrete or abstract play.

… But what was worst for them was not to move. I thought that when things could not move for a time, it was just like flowers dying. Whenever we rehearsed subtle details, fine motions at the table for an hour, I saw the circles under their eyes growing bigger, saw them sink in their chairs, and we quickly had to do a small dance or have a tea break to get them started again.

Komarek wrote the screenplay just for the performers. It changes from day to day just as the dancers respond to it and how they approach and use it. The elements of visual and movement theatre are prevalent, but space is also created for dynamic dance sequences. Drama is built on rapid and unexplained cross-cutting between concrete and abstract scenes.
