15.30 – 15.45 / Eva Urbanová – The Essence
Eva Urbanová ‘s new solo, which was awarded by 2nd Prize for the Choreography and also the Public Prize at the Solo-Tanz-Theater Festival Stuttgart 2021.
A solo made of sticky gelatine and pink roses and dark moments and creepy faces and jumping… A solo, where the sharp, straightforward essence of the dancer, the essence of the space at Invalidovna and the warm, blueish-purple music of Aid Kid meet. The Essence was awarded by 2nd Prize for the Choreography and also the Public Prize at the Solo-Tanz-Theater Festival Stuttgart 2021.

16.30 – 17.00 / Etta Ermini Dance Theatre: OQDA
The world premiere of a new open-air show at KoresponDance Prague.
Acrobatics drawn from contemporary circus and street dance styles merge in a moving investigation of cultural differences. The world premiere of OQDA, a new open-air show, will take place at KoresponDance Prague, with a first reprise in Zďár nad Sázavou. Three people are held at a border, subject to prejudice. They don’t speak the same language and are unable to communicate. Together, they overcome preconceptions through exaggeration and humour. OQDA (“knot” in Arabic) is inspired by chance encounters and improvised conversations. Struck first by the differences between them, the characters go on to discover many creative modes of expression, venturing into new territories and learning elements of each others’ disciplines.
Concept, perfromance: Mohammed Hammich, Wahib Hammich, Emma Houston
Dancer for R&D: Amber Clays
Director: Etta Ermini
