Three people cross paths while on the run. Bound to each other, they overcome obstacles and navigate limit situations on a difficult journey to freedom. Anxiety, courage, failure, joy, compassion. How does our world actually see the value of people who “have no territory of their own”? The production not only reflects on current events but above all portrays the human quest for self-discovery and the personal transformation of each of us.

The performers’ expressive, dynamic movements evoke an atmosphere of continuous tension, forcing the audience to remain alert. Alongside performer and singer Hana Varadzinová, a new generation of dancers – Michaela Králiková, Andrej Štepita, and David Králík – will take the stage.

The ensemble’s signature style is characterised not only by the expressiveness of the performers but also by the deep connection between the movement and the music. In this production, the music doesn’t just accompany the action – it determines it. However, the two components merge into an inseparable whole as the music was composed by the choreographer Viliam Dočolomanský himself. The powerful atmosphere created by leading jazz musicians Marcel Bárta, Štěpán Janoušek, and Jan Chalupa / Vít Halška is rounded out by the sound design of Eva Svobodová, which issues from, among other places, the loudspeakers that dominate the stage design.

In a new form and with a new cast, the ensemble is building on their successful 2018 production Refuge, which was co-produced with Tanec Praha, the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art, and the London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT). After its premiere, the new production will represent the Czech Republic at the festival of the Orbita | Spellbound National Centre for the Production of Dance in Rome.
