Icarus :

   Icarus in the Greek mythology was an incorrigible dreamer. He didn’t know that wings were only a kind of construction, too weak to fly with impunity in the sky. Too many issues pulled him toward the Earth. This is the topic of the spectacle.

„The essence of the matter is in the fact
that our hearts, which are trapped by everyday life, fill with air
and this is what Icarus didn’t want to accept”

based on „Dedalus & Icarus” by Z.Herbert (String of light [1956])

   The performance is not a real story about Icarus, it is a kind of variation based on this story. It is a meeting between two worlds: mythology and various situations of today on the other hand with respect to the same subject - dreaming of flying. Full of absurd humor scenes taking place during the live TV-show are counterpointed by methafor imagines of Icarus – everyone of us in some moments of our lives. The spectakle includes fantastic elements and real ones as well. Pantomime, dance, fire and circus elements make „Icarus” real spectacular show. Theatrical plot is accompanied by video projections and percussion music live.
