BLACK BLACK WOODS

Some rules can’t be broken.
They’ve been in place for thousands of years.

“Jozef Fruček asked me if show that I want to produce, shall enjoy a success in Prague, or shall infringe limits of the present performance art in general. Guess, what was my answer.” – Rostislav Novák Jr.

Black Black Woods
With long landscapes
And even longer time
To wait for, to experience
To see and wait again
Get rid of everything
Idea
Entertainment
Meaning
Art comes from terrific failures
And so are their life
This performance is something
It is nothing
Unsuccessful, useful, blurred, abandoned
It is their talent their genius and desires

“Cirk La Putyka pushes the limits of the theatrical language with its family saga.”
– Barbora Čiháková / Aktuálně.cz

I will do it better. I will do it better. I will do it better. I will do it differently.

What had been created for hours, can be destroyed in minutes.
