#FLYING #GLARE #HUF
Mainly for entrants to the performance and other cultural profession.
Drill is both performative and tactical, that starts from the restlessness of creators at the beginning of their careers. About each other's chances and cultural conditions in an empty space under the glowing wokrlight.
Twenties perform a 45 minutes drill in the Trafó Studio.
„The even was action-packed and subversive. Their uniformity was very striking. The two performers played openly with different mottos (...) ranging from conscious awkwardness and unbearability to the exuberant joy inherent in the action.” (Hana Strejčková)
„Aware of the vulnerability of their bodies in a space shared with an audience, Illés and Melykó overcome fear with curiousity, a sense of adventure and comic timing. They relax into explorations of menacing power and uncontrollable urges to fly in empty public space, or is it a battlefield?” (Ewan McLaren)
The performance workpremiered was at the Alfred ve Dvoře theatre in Prague as part of the Bazaar Performance and Dance Festival residency programme in spring 2023.
