What happens when we let objects speak for themselves?
An intimate, mischievously serious object performance born from a need to observe the world more attentively. To notice what often goes unnoticed: subtle transformations, natural cycles, the quiet processes that happen without, or perhaps despite, us. NATURA KULTURA exists at the intersection of documentary and poetry, exploring the relationship between beings, materials and nature in a playful, visually compelling and delicately introspective way. While everything is set into motion, someone works silently beneath the surface – perhaps it is there that the rhythm of everything begins.
About the company
We met at the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (DAMU), where we began digging around in the dirt of the communal garden and, almost as an afterthought, talking about the way we flow with the world. Bibi: I have about 163 plants, and when dancing around them (anywhere, actually, and all the time), I find myself humming melodies of songs I’ve forgotten I know. Nebe: In my coat pockets, I create shelters for stray objects that are round, copper, holey, glass, or similar in nature. Would you care for a lychee? How about some dentures?
