Ufftenživot: Loneliness & Stuff

This duet about loneliness and sharing is looking for missing parts of human happiness with bitter humor and amusing pathos.

I share. I am a part of. I share with you. I share, therefore I am. You are my certainty in my restlessness. My restlessness in certainty. You are myself. The second part. A set made of two parts. We are a piece of work. A detailed drawing. Scratched figures. Just don´t move, so that it´s not blurry. An unceasing movement of particles. Vibrations. A matter and a non-matter. I came alone, I am alone, I will leave alone. I am a part of. A part for itself. No continuity. The zeroth series. I share. In myself. Therefore I am. I am an endless question of time. Calmness that doesn´t want to depend on calmness. I am a changing impression. All by myself everywhere you look.

It is possible to create an experience that changes your perspective on reality. A man who accepts and goes through this experience can leave the theatre and be changed. What the change is, is up to you. Loneliness & Stuff, is above all, an experience.

Lukáš Homola: Solus

A debut by Lukáš Homola in cooperation with director Jakub Mudrák. In this solo performance, Lukáš touches upon different topics from everyday life, which he tries to transform into physical language.

Solus examines the questions of solitude, isolation and different kinds of addictions – addiction on social conventions, expectations, relationships and material elements that are common parts of many of us. In life, our souls and minds often escape to memories or future, which isolate are from the present moment; we break the fragile connection between the mind, the soul and our own body. The body that is marked by our solitude and addiction…

Emptiness. I try to fill it in… Burden. I want to break free… I stay. Lonely, I am…
