Micro Worlds
A playful and poetic performance that invites audiences of all ages to rediscover the beauty of small things.
Two dancers subtly employ micro-movements, shifting body configurations, and small objects such as stones, sticks, seeds, and blades of grass. The performance draws attention to these small details right before our eyes, which often go unnoticed in the daily rush.
The performance is presented as part of the MULTIGENERATIONALITY series, which showcases the presence of diverse generations on stage and in the audience and promotes policies of care and nurturing.
The performance received first prize and the audience award at the Czech Dance Platform—the most prestigious contemporary choreography event in the Czech Republic—as well as a nomination for the Thalia Awards—the most important Czech awards for achievements in various fields of the arts.
