BUOY (up the shade)
KATARÍNA MATÚŠOVÁ & LUKÁŠ BOBALIK
Experience the unique dance performance "Buoy (up the shade)", which takes you on a deep introspective journey with two exceptional Slovak dancers—Katarína Matúšová and Lukáš Bobalik. In this compelling piece, they dive into the depths of their imagination and confront the darkest aspects of their souls - fears, anxieties, exhaustion, and hidden memories of their bodies. They explore the essence of their existence, venturing into fantastical landscapes and dark forests, creating a world full of symbols and hidden meanings that they now invite you to experience.
Buoy is a metaphor for safety and certainty in an uncertain world. It symbolizes a fixed point to which you can always return. But first, you must find it or even become it.
The performance examines the harmony and balance of two bodies that support and counterbalance each other while facing risks, conflicts, and chaos. On stage, just like in life, the dancers continually search for salvation - whether in moments of careful cooperation or in times of conflict.
Their creation was inspired by cathartic imaginative psychotherapy, which helped them uncover the most sensitive and vulnerable parts of their being. These experiences were transformed into a captivating movement expression that draws you in and captivates you. The performance transports you to a world where dance is more than just movement - it is a journey, a search, and an endless struggle for balance in life. Come experience this unique journey and discover what it means to be a buoy—a fixed point in constant motion.
