NJAVKE

A performance, based on movement, about searching for the values of the past

Life in a concrete jungle took away our genuine playfulnes and curiosity, which was praised by the ancient Greeks (thaumazein (gr): curiosity, wonder). This is the virtue that leads to new knowledge and progress of an individual and the human society.

The show NJAVKE is a story about a forest nymph and a city girl. It is based on the two opposing creatures (one from the past and the other from the future) and includes controversial way of movement, acting and facing objects and events. All this is portrayed in the form of equilibre circus which includes elements of the modern circus, Chinese acrobatics, street theatre, capoeira, vertical dancing and narrative staging.
