Jan Bárta: HIT

"And I would scream, but they have places for people who scream." ~ Charles Bukowski

What must we scream to be seen? What must we show to be heard? The solo performance Hit explores the theme of emphasis, exaggeration, and extension in the act of a strike - a non-aestheticized physical gesture that overflows into action, image, word, and text. The form is minimalist, the approach to theatrical action fundamentally communicative. Intensity, radicality, and anger transformed into the language of everyday life.

The performance loosely follows the author's solo Pitch from 2015, presented in the Czech Republic and abroad, and the directness of the work by the duo Bárta-Třešňáková (2010 Tak přesně o ráji… to není, 2014 Sticker - nomination for production of the year and DNA New Network award).
