Věra Ondrašíková & kolektiv:
CLOUDS
Soul. Everyone talks about it, but no one has ever seen it. One of the most discussed topics of the current young generation through the eyes of those it affects. CLOUDS is the meeting of a few souls with clouds gathering over them.
Vera Ondrasikova & colleagues' latest project is based on a current social issue and a strong theme. 9 professional dancers aged 11-17 bring the stories of their peers. The performance touches upon everyday topics that children and teenagers commonly encounter. Especially challenges such as being singled out, critiques of appearance, relationships and more. CLOUDS offers a new perspective on what children themselves experience or observe but cannot find the right words for.
Imagine finding a new way to communicate and share with each other. Children with children, children with parents, parents with children, yourself with your inner child. Together. Without words. Without iClouds.
The production is accompanied by live music by Filip Míšek.
The authors of the production drew on anonymous stories of child-age respondents, which were collected under professional supervision. According to current statistics, parents are among the last people children turn to in case of emergency. Children communicate with their friends more often through social networks than in person. They are not afraid to share their privacy or location. But when they find themselves in a crisis situation, they don't confide in anyone. Parents also often do not know how to communicate with their teenage child. And so are often surprised to learn that their child is going through a difficult time situation.
