On the occasion of the festival the dance company VerTeDance is going to present two performances at once.
Spectators can look forward to the original „children´s version“ of the dance-theatre production The Cases of Dr. Touret with Anna Polívková as its director and actress; it will be put on the stage in the Ponec Theatre on Tuesday 25th May at 6pm.
The project Emigrantes comes from the workshop of VerTeDance as well; it sees the current issue of emigration with children´s eyes. The performance, which will be staged in the Archa Theatre on Monday 31st May and on Children´s Day on Tuesday 1st June at 6pm, will show four adult and five children performers among which also belongs Eda Manukjan, the Armenian boy whose memories, dreams and wishes represented one of the inspirations. „We have already been working with children performers for several years, which however does not imply for us that the performances are destined for spectators among children only. We tried hard to exploit the whole process of rehearsing as the benefit, entertainment, but also the form of meaningful utilization of children´s time and abilities. It definitely helped to improve their human relations, it could be interesting for them to work with adult dancers, who were for them equal partners,“ comment the choreographers Tereza Ondrová and Veronika Kotlíková on the development of their project.
