PEEPING JANES

Every woman is a mom or a future mom. Like, really?

Three movement laboratories. Three choreographers. One director. Up to 15 performers, eight adults and as many as seven children aged five months to five years (children do grow up…)

Exploring the contrast between reality and expectations, experimental performance Peeping Janes fuses elements of contemporary circus, dance and physical theatre and also features aerial acrobatics on a suspended rope mesh.

"I wouldn't mind a dip in the ocean. But we're going to the mountains. We're going on a trip. Together. To Bethlehem. We need an opinion on body temperature. My butt's freezing. Those curtains were supposed to go in the living room. We're reminiscing about Grandpa. She's had no chance to enjoy her baby yet. It's Katka's fault."

HEROINES

Have you ever tried looking around yourself in the street and trying to imagine the story of every person you see? We are all heroes, we all have our adventures, we are all hiding some secrets. Heroines have a major secret they want to let you have a peek at using an unusual form of aerial acrobatics combined with elements of physical theater and mime. Inspired by the heroes of the everyday-life comic book.

 

Cirkus TeTy is a contemporary-circus company which focuses on aerial acrobatics on ropes and continues its successful cooperation with Radim Vizváry. After Goose Necks, the first show created in this cooperation, it's Heroines time. Ropes are tangled into the shapes of an unfinished ladder and an irregular net and physical TeTyism lives on...

BEDŘICH

Right now, we're in love with Bedřich. Both of us. And yes, it sucks. Come see for yourselves what is leads to. Come to our place to check out how Mrs. lives with Mrs. We have a mobile mirror, hanging ropes and also a telephone. Do you think he's gonna call?
