Jan Bárta: HIT

Description

“And I would scream, but they have places for people who scream.”
~ Charles Bukowski What must we scream to be seen? What must we show to be heard? The solo performance Hit explores the themes of emphasis, exaggeration, and extension in the act of striking. It plays with non-aesthetic physical gestures that overflow into action, image, word, and text. Through a minimalist approach to theatrical action, which is fundamentally communicative. Impact, radicality, anger transformed into the language of everyday life. The performance loosely follows the authorial solo Pitch from 2015, which was presented in the Czech Republic and abroad, and the straightforwardness of the authorial duo Bárta-Třešňáková (2010 So Exactly About Paradise… it is not, 2014 Sticker – nominated for Production of the Year and the DNA New Networks Award). concept and interpretation Jan Bárta photo, video, graphics, projections Dita Havránková technical support, lighting design Václav Hruška and Studio Hrdinů sound Matěj Šenkyřík production CreWcollective photo Tomáš Hejzlar
