The composed evening; Farm in the Cave gives the audience a chance to not only look inside different cultures, but also into the life of an ensemble thought-out a period of ten years.

Abstract

The Journey gives the audience a chance to not only look inside different cultures, but also into the life of an ensemble. Farm in the Cave members share with us their search over 10 years of existence: through video recordings performers are confronted with the people who gifted them with their stories, songs, rhythms and dance steps, and became part of their lives. 

„There´s something quite hypnotic about „The Journey“ in the way it translates specific emotions and experiences into music and dance … into intricate, if equally immediate, portrait of an unseen people inhabiting a rapidly vanishing culture.“ Joseph Fahim, Masress

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.
