Cie Pieds Perchés – OK(N)o

Public space/private space/intimacy. Blending circus, dance and physical theater, the site-specific OK(N)o project questions the very notions of private and public space as it attempts to identify the places where individual freedom can be found within these two realms. OK(N)o is meant to be performed in indoor and outdoor environments, in different cities and in varying forms. It plays with the idea of observing and being observed which involves putting the audience in the position of both the observer and the observed.

Length 30-50 min, Fexible in function of the demand Who is it suitable for? For all audience

Cirk La Putyka – Kaleidoscope

Insane jumps on a giant teeter board, group dance numbers, aerial acrobatics as well as flights on the trampoline. A flurry of gags and tricks, pumping music and laughter, hypnotic images contrasting with a summer party in the open air. Traditions meet modernity, seasoned La Putyka members mingle with fresh circus blood. A total of eight acrobats, actors and dancers shine throughout the show like pieces of glass in a kaleidoscope. Stop thinking. Open your eyes, lend us your ears and plunge into a flashy collage of art and joy.

About Cirk La Putyka

Since 2008 the originally small group of enthusiasts who wanted to create a single performance has grown into a grouping of almost one hundred actors, dancers, acrobats, musicians, producers, technicians, doctors, make-up artists and other professionals.
Following the unexpected success of the debut show La Putyka the brothers Rosťa and Vítek Novák founded Cirk La Putyka. Since then as the groups’ artistic director and managing director respectively, the two brothers have been defining the direction and speed of travel of our theater and contemporary circus wagon.
Over the first ten years of our existence, we have created more than 20 projects, cooperated with more than 300 people of 25 nationalities, given more than 1,500 performances and visited more than 21 countries.

Holektiv – Crows

Full show acrobatics, aerials, experiment, flow arts, indoor, outdoor, physical theatre, site specific

Holektiv – Crows

They live next to people’s home the same way they occupy their secluded forest territories. Their color, hunched posture and fondness for carcasses have made them a symbol of death. However, they also symbolize the birth of a new life. Crows are bearers of dreams and secrets. Crows are also a physical performance accompanied by live music which takes place on a single object.
The Crows performance was created in 2020 with the intent to produce a show in a non-theatrical environment. The Czech Museum of Music was chosen as its original location. However, Crows can also be performed in the open air.

Length 45 min Who is it suitable for? 10+

About Holektiv

The Holektiv company was founded in 2015 when Andrea Vykysalá, Eva Stará and Karolína Křížková decided they wanted to work together. Thus, a purely female ensemble emerged on the Czech cultural scene. Since then, they have created a unique style with poetry-like esthetics.

Balancealots – Link the Click

In an urge to connect with the environment, the two quirky & colorful individuals show the difficulty of learning to work together by trying to find the balance between the two extremes of social connection: the online and the offline presence.
They drag their wonky kart everywhere they go, bringing life to any street corner, through a complex mashup of skills and live beats to generate positive energy.
The show includes partner acrobatics, live music & comedy to create a spectacle that makes weirdness oddly normal.

Losers Cirque Company – COLLAPSE

Full show acrobatics, hand2hand, indoor, outdoor

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

Eliška Brtnická – Fish Eye

I fall apart and reassemble, I keep changing form. I’m searching for what I am, what is shaping me and what keeps changing my structure. I float and sometimes, I get attached to glass.
Pressure turns into a wave, motion into images, impacts into sounds, water surface into flickering flashes.
A blend of dance, installation art, fashion and aerial acrobatics with a live accompaniment of ultrasound dolphin frequencies.

Losers Cirque Company – Audition

As over-the-top acrobatic show as a massaged CV. Losers Cirque Company are bringing the new show – The Competition – and only the audience decides the winner.

“We’ll call you back!” A sentence everyone has heard at least once. Today you’re going to hear it again. They will call you back indeed – if you become the chosen one of the applicants armed with fine-tuned CVs who are just getting ready to fight for… for what? Does it even matter? The winner-to-be now has to hide their true self, their principles, and their self-respect to prove they’re the very best. Or at least fake it until they make it and overcome the rest. Succeeding in the game with no clear rules is not going to be easy. Who is going to show the judges the most delightful cocktail of talent, pretence, and ambition?

MansterVille – Propane Punk Circus

Work in progress acrobatics, clowning, flow arts, juggling, outdoor, site specific, street arts

MansterVille – Propane Punk Circus

MansterVille is an interactive amusement park including a music stage and a multifunctional geodesic dome. Our work is site- and/or event-specific, so we work with artists of different skills. The planned project builds on the performance Ex Rotam, which features clown acts, live music, trapeze acrobatics and a final fire show with pyrotechnic effects.
The performance follows a simple story which unfolds around a gradually assembled giant MansterWheel. First, there is just one cage where an acrobat moves freely. The other cage is replaced by an acrobatic trapeze. Story segments alternate with acrobatic and fire-dance interludes accompanied by live music by a perfect line-up of drummers and Djs.
