Nu Dance Fest 2024: threeiscompany & Jaro Viňarský: IHOPEIWILL (premiere)

How do we imagine a common future not only for ourselves, but for our grandchildren? What do we hope and want to create for them? Can our hopes materialize?

IHOPEIWILL is a performance that touches on the topic of our common future in the light of the current tense political situation and the climate crisis. The personal family space becomes the lens through which these larger topics are reflected on.

This new piece by the creative trio Soňa Ferienčíková, Mária Júdová, and Alexandra Timpau was co-produced by Nu Dance Fest and will premiere during the opening night of the festival’s 19th edition.

After the performance, there will be a discussion with the creators. The discussion will begin approx. 10 minutes after the end of the performance and will be moderated by Dáša Čiripová.
