  • Premiere 11. 2. 2019

Noise and sound. Rush and melody. Rhythm and voice. Solo and accompaniment. They meet, and they depart. Alone, and yet together. Like musicians, dancers and acrobats in Isole. Even in music, they discover circus approaches, the melodies and rhythms develop under their arms and legs, not only thanks to virtuosity with musical instruments, but also through movement, action and reaction, co-operation, choreography. What can music, an integral part of the poetics of Cirk La Putyka, mean and express on the stage? And how it also can be created?

Welcome to circus with the magical power of music in the main role. Let it step into your subconscious mind and tease your expectations, joys, sorrows and fears. Open your eyes, ears and your hearts and become part of the circus of imagination.

Live music is a traditional part of Cirk La Putyka's productions and the main theme of Isole. The new circus is about virtuosity, equilibristics, but it is not important whether it is virtuosity in movement or in music. Isole is a music new circus. Those, who have been accompanying the ensemble's projects from the very start, but usually more from the background, the musicians, are in the main roles.

"A 'theatrelized' concert. A celebration of graceful cacophony of rhythms and sounds, the melodic beauty of singing and the imagination of human fantasy."
