FysioART: Dandelion

Interactive movement and clowning performance about the comic unveiling of the mysteries of gardening – especially when you decide to grow dandelions! The show plays with situations based on humorous misunderstandings and attempts, where everything familiar and obvious transforms into something new and often surprising. After all, what can a watering can or a rake be used for? Together, we find ourselves in a landscape filled with meadows, at the center of which is a small garden tended by two diligent gardeners. We visit a place where the dandelion sun alternates with the tousled marigold, where dandelions are called smetánka lékařská (medicinal dandelion), and even lví zub (lion's tooth).

Just blooming and just flying. Just seasoning and just letting yourself be carried by the wind... Dandelion.

What has been said about the performance:

"Children have a great time, unaware that they are sharpening their attention, occasionally shouting, 'Where is it, where is it?' But the parents enjoy it just as much, many of them laughing out loud, and the overall experience is further intensified by the shared emotions with the children." – Michaela Kessler, Opera plus
