DOWNHILL DOWNTOWN DOWNRIVER is a unique, site-specific dance performance that will take you through the town of Žďár, along with its natural areas and outskirts, in a brand new way. Take on the role of spectator and active participant and treat yourself to an experience that opens new perspectives and changes your perception of urban reality.
On Friday, Andrea Boll and her company take on the vast, grassy hills and fields of Green Mountain (Zelená hora). Saturday brings us to the Tokoz factory. How will a factory environment change under the influence of Bollwerk's dance and improvisational art? Will it remain a lock factory, or become a creative and inspiring place? The trilogy ends on Sunday, by the water, in the Pilák recreational area. This unusual walk will test our instincts in exchange with the environment in which we find ourselves. En route to each destination, we'll discover and explore the "human condition" of the given locale. Through an innovative approach, Bollwerk encourages active observation and interactive public participation, including the spontaneous, unforeseen (re)actions of random passers-by. Discover Žďár and its public spaces from a different perspective.
