Performing: Lukáš Bobalik
Dance solo and simultaneously a tennis match performed by one man is a game of stamina. To find the right rhythm, the dancer plays in all directions, ultimately essentially against himself. He explores the limits of his energy, motivation, and purpose. A duo of musicians (singer Peter Mazalán and guitar player Jakub Mitrík) accompany him on his inner quest, constantly adapting to his match, adding, prompting, without stopping, while dance moves mix with forehands and backhands.
How much is enough, when does the match ends, can there be any balance?
The highly personal confession of Lukáš Bobalík takes place in a space, the basis of which are tennis nets stretched on a moving structure. The dancer's astonishing mastery of tennis strokes and their cadence is also an installation, a sports event and a dance performance portraying dance on the edge of the ruins of a burnt-out society.
The show runs without an intermission.
