About the performance:

ALZBETA is a cruel piece as an unknown number.
It is a fiction festive and fatal by its absurdity,
its violence and naivety
inspired by animals and the human.

This story, inspired by fairy-tales, is situated out of the time. It is constructed on the meeting of two personages, almost strangers. Their relation playful and savage evolves in a surreal, but absolutely serious way. The evident things do not stay for long time. The atmosphere is reminiscent to the villages of the East of Europe, where one can smell melancholia and morbidity. The inner violence, obsession, animality, wildness and restraint were worked on in a pure physical way, which creates a dance funny and tragic at the same time.
