Hey, Earth!

The production Hey, Earth! invites the audience on a fascinating journey through movement theater and interpersonal communication.

It takes place in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world in which the audience and the performers immerse themselves in a dream state full of rituals, fantasy, memories of the past and hope for the future.

This unconventional performance is the culmination of more than ten years of research by the director Thomas Steyaert in the field of physical communication between actors. Because he has always been fascinated by the nervous interaction existing in sports matches, where the rules are clearly set with an unpredictable result, which is fought for in real time. He began to wonder what would happen if such forms of interaction were integrated into an artistic context. In the production Hey, Earth!, a real physical discussion takes place on stage, where the individual actors are more dependent on each other than usual.

This theatrical experimentation reflects internal movements in society, tests, maps and transforms the established order. It invites the audience to think about basic human values and relationships.

The performance draws inspiration from various sources, from literary classics such as A Clockwork Orange, 1984 or Cesta, through Czech multimedia artists, important sculptors, choreographers, to contemporary circus and sports matches.

Suitable for audiences from 10 years.
