After the previous successful performance with a symphonic orchestra, the original music composer Jan Maxián is now taking a new path, collaborating with an expanded lineup of the Cirk La Putyka band. The classic three-member setup (keyboard, percussion, vocals) will this time be supported by a full drum kit and bass, and the story of angels and humans will be enriched by the tones of a string quartet and brass section.
A story of a man living uniquely with his memories. He lives through his flights and falls but is unable to break free from the luggage of memories he carries to live in a relaxed and liberated way. Sometimes everyone thinks about what follows, when that "ultimate moment" occurs. How does it look like and what's next? Up End Down looks at the journey from birth to death, from the earth to the heaven and back through the prism of our fantasy. A crossroads between two streets, heaven and earth, the memories and the present, smile and tears, taking off and falling. A crossroads of genres.
The performance was created in 2010 as the second production of the ensemble. Actors, acrobats, and dancers mastered new disciplines (aerial acrobatics, teeterboard) and after the success of La Putyka, company met the high expectations of the theatre public. The company confirmed it's ability to combine drama with new circus and surprised with the art shape and set design ideally set for the space of La Fabrika, Prague.
