The performance, this time set in the unique environment of Futureum, transforms the original concept into a performative walk. We invite you on a journey into the depths of a former industrial site, where the original production sensitively merges with the atmosphere, space, and echo of the site's history.
"Carpe(t) Diem", or how to enjoy life even when several carpets compete for your attention at once. A dance-movement performative walk with aerial acrobatics performed by Jana Ryšlavá, Jindřich Panský, Alžběta Tichá, and Viktorie Szaloczi. Seizing each moment isn’t as easy as motivational books often promise. Joyful moments can quickly turn into obstacles that make our journey more challenging. The beauty lies in handling these challenges with ease and a smile, even accepting a fall with grace. And perhaps it’s the carpet itself that offers a sense of safety and comfort, helping us to overcome obstacles with a smile.
ℹ️ The performative walk takes place in the spaces of the former industrial building Futureum, which you enter at your own risk, and it is necessary to respect the rules of the site. Unfortunately, the walk’s route is not suitable for people with limited mobility or children under the age of 10. For safety reasons, children aged 10 to 15 will only be admitted when accompanied by an adult. We recommend sturdy, closed footwear for comfortable movement throughout the event.
This performance is part of La Nuit du Cirque, coordinated by the Association of New Circus and La Nuit du Cirque, an international event organized by Territoires de Cirque (France).
