Get on. We’re not stopping. We’re in this together, but separately. Moments, when we could understand, but we missed out.

Film version of the project Ephemera.

Abstract

From the elevator cabin of a paternoster lift, we see fleeting moments captured in the form of powerful emotional movements. The protagonists – together yet each alone – are preoccupied with their own uncertain and volatile stories, unable to see the others just next to them. The scenes evoke everyday situations in a melancholic setting, at the edge between reality and strangeness. The film won the Best Performers Award and the Audience Choice Award at the Idaho Screendance Festival.

The film captures the physical language characteristic of the international theatre ensemble Farm in the Cave. The creative team led by the director Viliam Dočolomanský creates authorial productions based on unexplored current topics with a significant social impact.

For Promoters

Farm in the Cave’s standard space requirements for performances are as follows: a space with good acoustics which can also be completely silent during performances; typically we use a black box or site-specific space with minimal dimensions of 10 x 10 meters, with a height of 6 meters; at least 6 months before the performance our technical team of 2-4 persons must make a preparatory visit.

The maximum number of audience members at individual performances varies, but is usually no more than 450. 
The number of performers per performance varies between 5 and 13, and the technical – production staff is between 4 and 6 people.
The minimum number of performances presented in one place is 2. The company can play 2 performances per day are available on request – the latest start time is 21:00 local time.
 
The length of preparation and adaptation depends on the specific performance and local conditions, with a minimum of 1-2 days necessary prior to the day of the first production.
Financial requirements are available upon request at info@farminthecave.com.
 

The organizers pay for: fees; costs of shipping scenography; personnel transport; local transportation to the performance location; housing; per-diems; costs connected with preparatory technical visit. The organizer agrees to pay for costs of equipment rental if the space to be used does not have the equipment necessary.
