Czech dance is experiencing another successful season at the Festival Fringe in Edinburgh, Scotland. The VerTeDance company headed to the festival with its piece Korekce (Correction) which became the Production of the Year last season in the Czech Republic. This time it received the Herald Angel Award, right after the second re-run of the show that is going to be performed seven more times.
The Festival Fringe takes place from 7 to 30 August. Czech contemporary dance and physical theatre are represented by the ensembles VerTeDance, Spitfire Company, ALT@ART productions and also Cirk La Putyka for new circus. VerTeDance’s Correction makes part of the Fringe programme from 1 to 19 August. Other companies, too, perform in blocks, with only a few one-day breaks. Spitfire Company travelled to Scotland with the piece called Antiwords, inspired by the legendary theatre play Audience by Václav Havel.
The physical, farce-like piece Antiwords blends theatre and dance with a lovely background of spoken word, sound records of the original play from which the most famous lines have been selected and mixed together. It will be performed from 10 to 30 August. The duet of Peter Šavel and Tereza Ondrová - Boys Who Like To Play with Dolls – mirroring gender issues, has already been played twice and it features in the festival line-up from 12 to 22 August. Cirk La Putyka brings a piece entitled Dolls, which is on from 7 to 29 August.
