Jazmína Piktorová & Sabina Bočková: Microworlds

The jury decided to award this production because of the outstanding complexity of the work. The playfull presence of the three performers are letting us seeing things in a different perspective. Their interactive imaginative approach opens up a completely new universe for children, their families, for everybody. We especially appreciated the concept of returning to nature. A journey that brought us from this fast-big world to the tiny fragile vulnerable aspects of our human existence. An invitation to re-appreciate the small things in our live.

Eliška Brtnická & coll.: Thin Skin

This work creates multiple spaces in a poetic mix of contemporary movement language and new circus. The performers suspend time with surprising interactions of the physical body and physic of the material. Allowing us to discover landscape where the body/light/darkness and shadows in a harmonious dialogue. Truly expanding our borders our of imagination.
