Soft Spot is an experimental physical performance born out of cooperation between dancers Martina Hajdyla, Soňa Ferienčíková and choreographer Adrienn Hód. Through improvisation and a research of the physical body, they explored the relationship between body, personality and meaning.

What do we perceive when we look at the human body? What does the face, the gesture, the posture, the movement tell us? How do we communicate through the body with others?

Soft Spot plays with the blurring of human qualities, asks what defines people as humans, and looks for a hidden, sensitive “soft spot” in people.

Soft Spot is a theatrical liturgy. It invites the audience deeper into the space. It erases distinction between the stage and the auditorium. Lights and music are ripping the specktators off the mundane and plunging them into the timeless –⁠ they dissolve contours of present reality.

The focal point of Soft Spot is an immersive camouflage: a mask transforming what is human into a different kind of being; an elaborately assembled costume concealing yet also revealing in a disquieting way; and especially, a register of unpredictable body movements of plentiful qualities –⁠ movements which refuse to unveil or identify either of the two dancers. Movements carrying the touch of the other side.
