Tanzwerke Vanek Preuss: Polaris

Divadlo 29 | dance | performance | Islands in Motion (Ostrovy v pohybu)

The latest work by Tanzwerke Vanek Preuss explores the phenomenon of societal polarization — and its impact on all of us — through the body’s seismograph.

This dance performance examines the confused human being, black-and-white thinking, and our tendency to retreat into isolated communities of like-minded individuals. Polaris asks how this contemporary zeitgeist is reflected in the body. What does helpless rage mean in the context of the so-called “polycrisis”? How do exaggeration, hype, false imagery, and a tendency toward emotional extremes reshape our bodies and souls? What are the consequences of diminishing empathy and the growing collective vulnerability?

Directed by: Karel Vaněk
Choreography: Karel Vaněk and ensemble
Concept and dramaturgy: Guido Preuss
Performed by: Lisa Bless, Josefine Patzelt, Tobias Weikamp

Organized by Taje z.s. in collaboration with Divadlo 29 as part of the project Islands in Motion, supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and the Statutory City of Pardubice.
