2012 PISUM SATIVUM

physical theater performance
directed by Karine Ponties

In the den, those who remain... The one who went out brings back trouble and upsetting thoughts. This is a play dedicated to the glory of aberrant mutations and failures. “Pisum Sativum”, a cave chant in a hairy age.

Jana Návratová: “This performance is strange, It is inspired by visual and graphic art and offers highly strange aesthetic perceptions. It shows bodies in a way you have never seen, in shades and colours that are very mystical.” (Mozaika17.10 2012, radio Vltava)

Kateřina Vlčková: “Karine Ponties certificates and destroys our myths about human anatomy and movement. (…) It is not by chance that the beginning of the performance seems very plastic. She invited graphic artists during the rehearsals who not only drew pictures, but also inspired creators. Their works were displayed in the theatre. (…) The choreography shows a rich imagination and a sense of humor of the choreographer in every scene, as well as dancing and acting skills of the students of JAMU. And how did it end with the returning member of the troop? Go and check yourself, you will see a dancing performance that, I have the audacity to say, you have not seen yet. A “hairy” Sun will shine from above, too. Maybe it is the same one that was shining in the times when we lived in caves, who knows. (Fresh Flesh)

2012 - LOOKING FOR HEROS, Gala show

Short story about how juggling have saved the world.
  Gala show of 35 EJC and Carnival Sztuk-mistrzów 

in Lublin - Poland, 03.08 2012, by Arta.Ku

circus / theater / music / video

 

At the time when the Milky Way was still uninhabited, the Space Council had reserved Earth for construction of an inter-planetary highway. Because of the time loop, the representatives of the Council could not get to Earth for many thousand years.

Finally the Council managed to handle the time loop. Returning to the Milky Way, they concluded that the civilization on Earth had developed. War, ecological disasters, crisis tear the earth. People are harassed by a sense of the end of the world. Meeting with aliens and the discovery of life in Cosmos, simultaneously raises hopes and fear amongst humans.

For the first time the representatives of Earth will participate in the Intergalactic Space Summit.

 

 

The gala show was the result of the work of artists of many fields of arts. In addition to circus performances: juggling, acrobatics and clowning - representing modern circus, public observed a story about how circus arts have saved the world from destruction. The show has been led by actors present on two plans: on stage and on video. Their actions kept the show together in a coherent presentation, replacing traditional host. Performance has been accompanied by electronic music, drummers band and an original scenery. Show has been planned and directed by Marta Kuczyńska in cooperation with a team of artists:

2012 CLOWNS CRUMBS - performance

Four pieces of Mistero Buffo by Dario Fo,

played as “entrées clownesques” in 7 languages.

clown / theater / improvisation / 75min

The 'Clowns Crumbs' show is built around a tradition of traveling comedians from the medieval times, who moved from town to town, bringing news, but also performing theatrical pieces which were sometimes subversive in their content.

Light, funny approach to the subject of spirituality and religion is one layer of presentation, resulting from the text and spoken by actors - clowns.

Actors interpret the four pieces of 'Mistero Buffo': 1.The birth of wondering comedian, 2. Resurrection of Lazarus, 3.The Blind and the Lame, 4. Boniface VIII. Clowns are working with the spontaneous emotions: here and now, relating to contemporary life and current events.

With the desire to create a direct communication, comedians speak universal language of the Global Babel – Land, where God has mixed all the languages. Czech, English, French, German, Polish... is spoken and translated, or suggested by the audience. Public is not only consuming show. Actors - clowns turn directly to the audience, in dialogue and invite them on the stage.

2012 "Pitagoras Pro"

Pitagoras pro - modern art project by M.K

How to get juggling to National Gallery

film / art project / juggling / painting

Brno, CZ: Jamu - Kabinet Muz, 2011

Pythagoreans explained the universe true numbers. From numbers emerge - points, from points -lines, from lines - solids, from solids emerge bodies understandable by senses, which elements are fire, water, earth and air. These elements exchange and pass on each other, producing alive world - wise and spherical.

     Developing the idea of Pythagoras, Aristotle believes that the movement of bodies in universe is circular. The sphere is the most perfect body and circle is the most perfect curve. He saw the most perfect movement as motion in a circle.
