fickle angle
Premiere
August 2023
Letní Letná Festival
The magic of the moment is the child a fragment of a picture and the angle of view.
A visual movement performance with elements of contemporary circus and dance. Metal objects, reflections of space, bodies, formations and deformations, disruptions, perspective… Pushing, pulling, balancing, sliding, swinging, tilting, slope, weight, distance, order… Let's enter a space together. Can we find the right angle of view?
Every spectator receives their own personalized slice of stage reality. An experiment
with the perception of an audience seated with their back to the stage using mirrors to create a personal perspective. A suspended object based on the principle of tensegrity.
The Fickle Angle completes a triad of performances based on the principle of disruption (Disturbance 2021, Peeping Janes 2021, The Fickle Angle 2023). For this project, the two founding TeTy members cooperated with dancer Jana Ryšlavá to explore disruption and subversion of the perception of reality.
The performance has three versions: indoor (40 minutes), indoor light (20 minutes) and outdoor (40 minutes).
