Eliška Brtnická: Enola
A contemporary circus solo on the trapeze inspired by survivors of the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima, the legend of 1,000 cranes and Japanese aesthetic concepts. A synthesis of Japanese poetics and brilliant artistic performance.
Eliška Brtnická dispenses with the established conventions of contemporary circus and works with the trapeze in an original way, bringing an individual style and strong fine art elements to the stage as she illustrates origami folding with her own body. The production builds on captivating acrobatic elements that complement the performance as a whole. It is up to the spectators to create their own story as they watch, since, as Eliška says, we all have our own little wars and tragedies.

Eliška Brtnická graduated from the Department of Nonverbal Theatre at Prague’s HAMU, where she also completed a doctorate in 2018 with a project on choreography in aerial acrobatics. In 2017, as part of her doctoral studies, she completed a year-long course in circus dramaturgy at the prestigious French circus school CNAC in Châlons-en-Champagne. In 2010, she founded Cirkus Mlejn. In recent years, she has tended to include fine art concepts in her productions (for example, in collaboration with sculptor Čestmír Suška) or work site-specifically (collaboration with KIT - Copenhagen International Theatre). She is also the dramaturg for international festival Fun Fatale.
