Manuel Ronda / Tanečno: YOLT – YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (Slovak Dance Platform 2023)

This physical theatre performance is a reflection upon the structural system orientated in one main direction in which we people live in. It points out their paradoxic morals, their power games and the loss of orientation once there is no structure any more.

Ingredients:

– 4 performers

– 35 squares

– 1 Eva

– 1 Dorota

– a composition

– little red riding hood

– a bit of salsa

– hierarchy

– left and right

– something special

– the meaning of life

“YOLT combines two principles, two worlds. The world of rationality and the world of intuition, basic instincts. Drawing from fairy tales, they deconstruct stories and reflect on their moral messages. Using movement and text, they play with the concepts of good and evil, structures of power and the pleasures we are constantly seeking. The production presents dance and acting talents of four young and talented performers, attuned to the poetics of of the experienced Italian director and choreographer Manuel Ronda.”
