"If a person becomes absolutely still, she will see the movement of her own shadow."

An original 24 – 30 hr. site-specific project that explores the passage of time and how this changes according to context, space and theme.
Imagine what we would be able to experience if we were able to overcome the passage of time. Sabine Seume, a buto dancer, choreographer and initiator of multiple-hour performances, joins performer and choreographer Miřenka Čechová in a marathon of intimate, everyday moments. In pushing their limits, they battle exhaustion, extreme fatigue and the elements. "They surpass the boundaries of the „ordinary" and set off into worlds unknown and unexplored." (Dance Zone - Taneční zóna)

Concept and performance: Miřenka Čechová and Sabine Seume
Light design and technical support: David Prokopič, Karel Šimek
Sound, music: Matouš Hekela, Martin Tvrdý
This project was created in cooperation with the National Theater in Prague and the international Zero Point (Nultý bod) festival and with support from the Ministry of Culture of the CR, the Capital City of Prague and the Czech-German Fund for the Future.
