CONTEMPORARY EVENING
A journey in search of the untold, driven by an endless curiosity about what is possible. Through deconstruction, re-contextualization, and reinterpretation, we reshape our physical foundations into a fresh dance narrative. These sensual and musical works will carry the audience into a world where nature and ecstasy intertwine. Rich in musical nuances, this dance theatre production will guide the audience through a vast and varied emotional landscape, leading to a place of ultimate freedom. The dancers will unleash their creative forces, bringing to life Maxine Doyle’s provocative and spellbinding piece "The Lady in Pink Tights..." and Anton Lachky’s bold and physical "GOLDEN FISHES." Additionally, we will present the stunning new works "At Some Hour You Return" by JiÅ™í Pokorný, "At the Beginning Never Existed" by Giovanni Napoli, and Peter Chu’s deeply evocative "Text When You Land."

The Lady in Pink Tights...
Choreographer : Maxine Doyle
Lenght : 30 min
​
And when I was twelve years old
My daddy took me to a circus
“The Greatest Show on Earth”
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as I sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what
But when it was all over, I said to myself
“Is that all there is to a circus”
​

At the beginning never existed
Choreographer : Giovanni Napoli
Lenght 30 min
"In reality love is the foundation of our life and involves an infinite number of dimensions, and for this reason it is difficult to define and understand. Indeed, very often the love that is stronger than us guides our actions, and for this reason it can be enormous, dizzying, passionate, distressing, painful, scary, pleasant, serene and much more. Love shakes our foundations and has the power to make us question everything, it can change our lives and push us in very different directions from our plans, sometimes it can even take us to the other side of the planet."
At some hour you return
Choreographer : Jiri Pokorny
Length 30 min
​
“At Some Hour You Return” is loosely reflecting a story of a poem written by Andre Breton, “Always for the first time”.
It is a story about man’s longing for love and affection. The poem is written as a love note to a woman he has never met or someone he is hoping to meet one day in the future. He dreams about her and the hour she returns, he sees her in every woman and is willing to wait everyday for her love, hoping to find the secret of loving her always for the first time.
Text when you land
​
Choreographer : Peter Chu
Lenght 30 min
In a transient life, the only constant is the recurring event of arriving and departing. Although these movements seem linear in structure, I’m interested in what lives in the maligned moments during these actions. The traces we carry from place to place inspire the opposition we use in the creative process. The circularity of vitality, energy, and substance and how they co-exist within the movement was vital in developing the source material for this work. These three treasures assisted us with how moving bodies from mixed cultures communicate through breath, sensation, and touch.
Text when you land examines the emotional traces we carry from place to place. It is a reminder to breathe and release the unnecessary layers accumulated in the body and mind. Is there a point at which moving bodies find stillness, or perhaps they never arrive? I find wonderment in the desire to surrender to this mystery!
GOLDEN FISHES
Choreographer : Anton Lachky
Lenght 30 min
​​​
In his newest piece Golden Fishes, Anton Lachky guides us to wander along tumultuous, blazing paths of surrealism. Converted to boundless opportunities, the bodies interweave, proliferate and open out. Characters suddenly appear, influenced by irresistible enthusiasm and clashing indefinable stories that are impossible to reduce into an intelligible and resolute whole. The dance, freed from being confined by the moment, presents a sudden surge of power and a variety of exploits.Out of this furious and wild energy emerge engrossing, fascinating and incredibly intense choreographic moments.
