About event
WHEN THINGS GO OUT OF CONTROL, WE LOOK FOR A WAY TO FIX IT. A STAGE ABOUT TOLERANCE, WEAKNESS AND STRENGTH, DOUBT AND RESPECT, THE DESIRE FOR CONTROL AND DESTRUCTION WAS PREPARED BY THE TROOP OF LENKA WAGNEROVÁ & COMPANY DANCE THEATER FOR ITS TENTH ANNIVERSARY. THEATER PRICE NEWS 2023 concept, direction and choreography
The ability to exist in symbiosis with other creatures on the planet, the importance of respect and honoring the values of all beings, the uniqueness of species and the effort to preserve them – these are the main themes of the production. The force and power of nature will always find a way and do what is necessary. Riders view human action through the eyes of birds. The ancient inhabitants of our planet, sentient, intelligent, free beings, shrouded in mythology. Silent observers of our destinies. We learned from them, admired them and worshiped them. Then we forgot. Birds are the only surviving group of dinosaurs. They were here before us and they will be here after us.
The Riders production is a "remake" of the Jezdci project. It was the Riders who were at the birth of the Lenka Vagnerová & Company ensemble and became its pilot production ten years ago.
"Now that we have learned to fly in the air like birds and dive in the sea like fish, there is only one thing left - to live on earth like people." George Bernard Shaw
