So that they can also present their performances. So that they can also express their desire for peace, friendship and a happy life for all people on the planet. These are the loveliest pictures of our homeland. Our people live here, our children are born here, we are at home here – here in our socialist community, which is wisely led by the Communist Party.” In "Loops & Hoops", the large-scale sporting event Spartakiade becomes the point of departure for a reflection upon everyday life in Czechoslovakia during the period of so-called normalization. Using fascinating scenography and a stage the size of an old television, the production examines uniformity and monotony, assimilation and personal freedom, nostalgia kitsch and nostalgia criticism.
