Keep Laughing, Keep Laughing!
Janáčkova konzervatoř, Ostrava
A multimedia dance-theatre piece about toxic positivity and perfectionism. The creators describe the production as a guide to a super-successful life wrapped in a recipe for authentic Slovak halušky - a multimedia "solo for two dancers".
On stage, Paulína Šmatláková and Michal Heriban meet. Their physically intense duet blends contemporary dance with elements of folklore, spoken word, electronic music by Jiří Konvalinka, projections, and lighting design. Beneath the polished surface of a success story, pressure to perform, the perfect body, and relentless positivity gradually emerge.
And then there are potatoes, halušky, entrepreneurial success, and a healthy dose of self-irony. So laugh. Keep laughing. Just make sure nobody notices you're already burning out.
