Found & Lost

VerTeDance

The duet created by the Swedish choreographer and performer Charlotta Öfverholm for VerTeDance company. Found & Lost is physical, poetic and humoristic work for two strong women.

FOUND & LOST from Hypermarket Film Ltd. on Vimeo.

“Öfverholm is not afraid of expressivity, neither as a performer nor as a choreographer: she puts serious scenes right before or after the humorous ones, she approaches dance as a theatrical means, she works with spoken word and singing, she builds up the atmosphere with music, she stresses the characters by means of costumes... And VerTeDance are just perfect performers for her piece.“ (A2, Jana Bohutínská)

"The meeting of Veronika Kotlíková and Tereza Ondrová with Charlotta Öfverholm meant a huge step for VerTeDance, a step in a field perfectly mastered by Charlotta: the field of expression, expressivity, and caricature. It seems to me that in Found and Lost Charlotta lost VerTeDance and found it.“ Jana Návratová, www.tanecnizona.cz

“Frolicking, wild and slapstick-like scenes merging with aggression towards the audience. One of the most outstanding accomplishments on Czech dance scene.” (Vojtěch Varyš, Týden.cz, 17. 5. 2011)

“The show was genuinely lively, entertaining and disturbing at the same time... Definitely among the most interesting that has ever been created within Czech dance scene.” TÝDEN.CZ

Suna No Onna / Sand-Woman – a solo

Lea Švejdová

NANOHACH

A woman lost somewhere in a sandy landscape - in a pit with no bottom, in a chasm without ladders. Reconciled with her fate and adapted to life in an unfavourable place where no one else can live. An ever-present light from the watchtower doesn't allow her to sleep nor to dream. Inspired by Kóbó Abe homonymous book.

"... Dynamic spectrum of emotions from tenderness and fear through revolting and agression was tender in "dance of point of view", yet alarming..." L. Buresova /www.tanecniaktuality.cz, October 2011
