Losers Cirque Company – COLLAPSE

A collapse is a part of life, an experience that destroys, shatters and crushes. A collapse may harden us, strengthen us or just routinely recur without us even realizing its happening. Without collapses, there’s no progress, no expansion of limits, no way to move forward. We are interested in the essence of a collapse, what it does to an individual and what it does to an entire society. Will the society turn its back on those who have collapsed? Will the society take advantage of someone’s collapse or offer them a helping hand?

Reviews/Awards

“Once again, the Losers Cirque Company is pushing the limits of the human body and the law of gravity with playfulness, elegance and grace of movement. This time, they charm the audience with a poetic tour of life’s collapses which are everyone’s faithful companions since the plays of childhood. The show offers an innovative interpretation of the collapse as a paradoxical phenomenon, one that pushes us down while lifting us up, slows us down while pushing us forward, hurts us while making us stronger. I also applaud the sensitive and spot-on live musical and vocal accompaniment which adds power the overall impression.” – Helena Grégrová, I-DIVADLO
