Prima
Prima
Viktor Černický takes on the role of a choreographer and calls the general public to take their place on stage. In today’s age of mutual separation, a heterogenous group of local residents and dancers investigate the boundaries between the individual and the collective. Prima offers a way to reach out to the unknown and connect in a game where shared rhythm and individual gestures become the common denominator of change. Taking a radical turn from the concept of choreography as a finite composition, Prima is a dance work which liberates movement, fosters variability and unfolds anew each time we look at it: right here, right now. Together, the performers dive into the ocean of movement that goes beyond the world of dance and becomes a wave of joy. Just as high tide and low tide are the other ends of the same physical phenomenon, being oneself and being part of the whole only makes sense in interaction. Prima is a richly layered dance performance where experience of life and expressivity of art meet in one single electrifying moment. Emerging from the silence, the soundtrack is modest: the pulse of one’s own breath, the resonance of their steps, the friction of their hands. For the group of people with a diverse background and experience who create a unique community in the course of three days of creative process, each performance is the first one, always the premiere.
