NeBuď VajCo / Don’t be an egg / Don’t wake up the egg

2017

Premiere 2.6.2016, Prague

Movement-visual performance about desires, tastes, fragility, sense and nonsense of human existence, inspired by the symbolism of an egg.

One egg’s lower half transformed
And became the earth below,
And its upper half transmuted
And became the sky above;
From the yolk the sun was made,
Light of day to shine upon us;
From the white the moon was formed,
Light of night to gleam above us;
All the colored brighter bits
Rose to be the stars of heaven
And the darker crumbs changed into
Clouds and cloudlets in the sky.

(from Kalevala, Finnish national epic poetry)
