dissplay

for schools dance Tickets
We grow up online – but can we be offline? How much of ourselves are we when we are constantly being watched? Every post, every story, every photo... The world has turned into a parade of the best versions of ourselves, but what lies beneath the surface?

Dissplay is a dance ride by Jitka Sara Páníková and Tereza Lenerová, who ask themselves the same question as you - how caught are we in the pressure of our surroundings, in the trap of the digital ecosystem, in the desire to be seen and yet not lose ourselves? What if together we tried to escape for a while?

The mobile phone as our other self. But who are we without it - without the online reflection we carefully edit for others? Let's give ourselves a moment of freedom. Stop worrying about what we look like on the outside and discover what's going on inside. We may find that our greatest joy comes the moment we stop wanting to fit in. And that the world is actually quite funny when we allow ourselves (and especially ourselves) to make fun of it.

Jitka Sara Páníková ( born Čechová) is a dancer, performer and choreographer. She began her dance career at the Duncan Centre Dance Conservatory in Prague, where she specialized in contemporary dance and physical theatre. Outside of the Czech dance scene, she has had the opportunity to draw on various artistic approaches that have greatly influenced her movement qualities and transformed her artistic vocabulary. Her international experiences include studying in the Certificate Program at the Peridance Capezio Center in New York, earning a Master's degree in Performing Public Space at Fontys University of Performing Arts in the Netherlands, and gaining work experience in the Chinese cities of Chengdu and Shenzhen and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Jitka has worked closely with choreographers such as Michal Zahora, PocketArt, Tereza Lenerová & Co, Peter Šavel, Sofia Krantz, Flavia Tápias, Anna Källblad and Helena Byström. Among her significant choreographic achievements is the performance Dis Pla y, which won the main prize of the Czech Dance Platform in 2022.
