Scapes of Landscape | Perform Czech

More than a face. Beneath the surface, the landscape reveals itself. Surfing on cerebral cortex folds. Graciously, a discovery of new worlds emerges. Escaping the scope of inanimate matter, living mass undertakes experimentation. What happens when a mask unmasks, when a landscape escapes its scope and reveals its underlying, lunar face? In the project Scapes of the Landscape, the artists explore the coexistence, proximity and difference of different living forms. The group embraces a collective creation process merging individual creative desires and roles in a common thread of poetic narration. They collaboratively created masks and environments to reflect the richness of different qualities and the diverse appearances of imaginary creatures.

About the company

tYhle is a collective of Czech and French artists based in the Czech Republic. It is a platform for performance, dance, physical theatre and the visual arts, created by four young artists who share the same vision of the contemporary scene: its duty to experiment and eliminate barriers.

The collective was founded in Brno in 2015 after three years of collaboration between the performers Lukáš Karásek and Florent Golfier. They were later joined by the lighting designer Zuzana Režná and the scenographer/choreographer Marie Gourdain.

tYhle’s name is inspired by the Y generation. The letter Y can also be read graphically as the meeting point of different lines, directions, inspirations and backgrounds.

One of tYhle’s aims is to build bridges between its two cultures.
