PULPS

Choreographer and dancer Simona Machovičová, in collaboration with 420PEOPLE, will present her new dance performance, PULPS, which portrays the actual perception and experience of human emotions in interpersonal relationships. The dance duo will feature a pairing of dancers (Simona Machovičová & Jindřich Panský) combined with original live music by Václav Havelka.

“A partnership between two people. Each carries an equal share of responsibility for love, mutual care, respect and knowledge. A balance between two halves. PULPS shows the different stages of a relationship between two lovers, one of whom is a woman and the other a man. In our play, we want to open your perception just enough to make the performers’ gender negligible. So that you might be able to identify with one of the parts of the couple, regardless of gender, but rather based on your own relationship experiences. What have your relationships been soaked in? Have you ever been “drained to the last drop” because you keep coming back despite your common sense objections? Or do you see yourself as the one who (un)consciously drains the other out of love ? Or maybe out of hurtful hatred?” These are the questions captured by the PULPS performance.

The choreography of PULPS conveys the contemporary concept of the meaning of “relationship” and the actual form of emotions. The performance is accompanied by Václav Havelka’s original live music. Fashion designer Martina Machovičová and her brand Mars Industries introduce a new visual dimension to the production.
