Blackout paradox – Shamaniac

Full show flow arts, object manipulation, outdoor, street arts

Blackout paradox – Shamaniac

“Who looks outside, dreams; Who looks inside, awakes.”

‑ Carl Gustav Jung


Blackout paradox invites you beyond the human world as you know it. Through dance, dreaming, passion and struggle, the shaman’s soul sets out towards self-discovery and personal experience beyond the ordinary reality. Dance, acrobatics and fire dance loosely inspired by shamanism, mysticism and rituals.
Epic costumes, masks and unusual fire props combined with sophisticated choreography create a unique visual experience.

Length 30 min Who is it suitable for? For all audience

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.

Alžběta Tichá – Stav

Work in progress aerials, experiment, flow arts, indoor, outdoor, site specific

Alžběta Tichá – Stav

We are all constantly changing…
The STAV solo performance is a metaphor of a woman’s life path. Time is running and she is changing at every moment. Who was she in the beginning and who is she now? What comes next?
The constant yet unconscious metamorphosis of the physical and mental state is visualized and communicated through the movement of the acrobat.
The story serves as an inspiration to gain awareness of the transformations we undergo in life.

What I need

At this moment, this project is nearly completed. For this performance, I am looking for a co-production. I am still working on the stage design and dramaturgy and I am seeking financial support. I would be really happy If i could find some production support/help as well.

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.

Length approx. 45 min Who is it suitable for? 6+
