Heavy Theatre
KHWOSHCH (CZ)
Heavy Theatre by KHWOSHCH group is an exploration of the themes of weight and human endurance. They explore the technical limits of theatre and the uncomfortability, impracticality and realness on stage.
The Heavy Theatre project was born out of an interest in working with heavy objects and a fascination with their mysterious performativity.
Heavy objects are not always just a burden, they offer the possibility of unusual positions, movements, maybe even dancing. Weight conveys a different rhythm and new physical experiences, not just painful ones. It is necessary to adapt to the objects and to learn how to handle them. Observe the object and put all your energy into it. Gravity offers the possibility of extreme concentration. You can avoid illusion and wish for the truth. You can concentrate on the work. The work of the engineers, the movers, the builders, the set designers and every single person on any given day.
