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)
