Sport emerged from play. Play began when we felt safe. When we had space and energy to simply play. Will we play? Will we be at the start together?

A performance full of movement, emotion, images, euphoria, anger and victory. Sport serves here as a gateway to themes that touch everyone - regardless of whether they love it or despise it. Cirk La Putyka returns to the very beginning: to the roots, to why it all started. From ancient Athens in sun and dust, it attempts to approach the life of today's professional athletes.

What does the path to a dream look like? What happens in the mind a second before the starting shot? How does it taste to return to training after an injury? What do athletes experience when things aren't working? When everything hurts and nothing functions. When does an athlete want to be alone? And when do they feel abandoned instead?

The performance emerges from joint training sessions with Olympians, sports laboratory workshops and live exploration of movement in extreme conditions.
