再見

Hasta luego
Zatím
See you
I said many times goodbye to the sea.

I don’t belong here. But I don’t belong there.
I am where you are. You are everywhere, but nowhere. Not here. Not now.


“anytime, anywhere” is a multidisciplinary performance entrenched from a dialogue about missing between two young women. Navigating through departures with homelands, finding yourself in a new city, saying goodbye to family members, dealing with loss and grief...it transfers autobiographical materials into a shared reality of audio-visual poetry. Projection, movement, sound, object and text find their way onto the stage without hierarchy to translate the inner thoughts and memories of the two performers.
                                                           
Project Description

“anytime, anywhere” is a multilingual piece about two young women from different continents, who openly share their experiences and emotions about missing people in their lives. Navigating through departures, in-betweens, split identities and a shared reality, autobiographical materials are intertwined with abstraction, which arrive on the scene through multidisciplinary media. In this way, the audience travels from concrete geographical places like Prague, Hong Kong, or Central America, to internal imaginary landscapes.
To translate their inner pathways between memories, emotions and present reality into a performance, both creators bring to the table their performative languages. On one hand, movement and narrative work, on the other, audio-visual trajectory. This collision builds a particular universe in which “anytime, anywhere” is told.

The team works with projections, mapped onto various surfaces of different qualities. Together with sound, they create an immersive and dreamlike atmosphere that accompanies the viewers from beginning to end. All videos and sounds are streamed live, directly from the stage, bringing the viewers closer to the actual process of creation. Other disciplines included are objects, movement and text.
