PRemierE of the play!
Order – chaos. Object – subject, a man and a woman. This is an attempt at creating categories and relationships. A struggle and a fitting of “worlds” within the track of human logic. This is not a royal drama, this is the drama of a common man. Very rarely do we feel this average and at the same time so ridiculously grand. An artful hit at the chest level puts a body into motion that’s averse to something as banal as a touch. Everyone is trying to get into a favourable position. The orchestra is set. A hit in another direction indeed shows the world a readiness with a pathos... before we approach the lady we choose, the party becomes a celebration of petty emotions, and the avalanche of awkwardness will hold the world together. Finally, an avalanche of puns of all sorts and lesser accidents will make things blurry. That happens only for a moment, until the music brings things back into sharp focus. All the same, sometimes you’re out of the game, if only for one beat. Beat after beat, a step, a subtle smooth Chopin – a tango – a rustle. A step is just one more illusion, another crushing defeat of our imagination. ONLY the orchestra, a rhythm reproduced from memory. To reproduce it, to conform to its fallibility and its whims, to the interconnectedness of plans and situations written into memory; we live, or perhaps we used to live, we are or perhaps we used to be. Memory undergoes fatigue just as metal does.
It’s like a combination of shockingly intimate signs and naked simple gestures, signs that fall into memory. The orchestra is playing like always – since always. A tango, a meeting – these are two worlds, us and them, or perhaps the other way around, who knows. “A wise man would know” – damn if we know – darkness, something is standing guard – you don’t talk during a dance. A conversation while dancing makes no sense, so just keep dancing...

A3 TEATR
A theatre of variety, a theatrical panopticum. It is not a dance theatre, but it joins movement with music. It is not a mime theatre, but it glorifies gestures. It does not hold on to linear stories, but it ties up actors within a net of mutuality. A3Theatre leads its audiences into temptation through humor or sadness, overdrawn ordinariness, grotesque and absurdity. It processes everyday life into a code of rituals. A3Theatre shows a kaleidoscope of dynamic images, without naming anything until the end.
