A decision is just a beginning. As soon as we decide, we actually lose ourselves to a mighty current which carries us to a place we hadn’t thought about at all at the moment of deciding.

NANOHACH

The predictability of transformation that takes place beyond the border of physical exhaustion: a woman trio in the whirl of creative and destructive energy. The performance was nominated for SAZKA Prize for "discovery in dance" 2008 as well as for the 2008 Interpretation Prize.

NANOHACH civic association introduces their project that was created in cooperation with the British ensemble Scottish Dance Theatre in Dundee. The project thus exists in two versions, the Czech and the British and it is being played by both ensembles. In Great Britain, the performance is called SECOND STORM. Michal Záhora about the project: “There is always just the music - the rhythm, the heartbeat, and breath. Crossing the street, the sound of cars creates a certain rhythm and structure. Dance can bring another dimension to music - polyphonic, not just a monophonic illustration of what we hear.”

"...an enthralling and emotionally charged piece. ...a piece which provides excellent vehicles for polished dance performances."
Thom Dibdin / The Stage

"...It's a feast for the senses, ideal if you just want to sit back and revel in exceptional dancing complemented by painterly lighting, atmospheric music and beautiful costuming. ...dancers brilliantly sustain the shifting rhythms of Zahora's choreography, creating a sisterhood that is both mythic and compellingly human."
Mary Brennan / The Herald
