Description
🌟Dance performance Prometheus!
Step into a visually striking and emotionally charged 60-minute dance performance that dives deep into the human condition—our triumphs, tragedies, and the fragile balance between progress and despair.
🔥 Inspired by the Titan who defied the gods, Prometheus confronts the cost of enlightenment and freedom. With powerful choreography by Michal Rynia & Nastja Bremec Rynia and an evocative original score by Sebastien Ballieux & Mateja Starič, the performance merges raw physicality with live music performed by the Ensemble Dissonance String Quartet.
As the myths of Prometheus and Pandora unfold, we are invited to reflect on the dualities that define us: creation and destruction, hope and suffering, light and darkness.What does Prometheus bring us today?

About the Performance
Prometheus—the Titan and bringer of fire—embodies both enlightenment and defiance. By gifting humanity what once belonged only to the gods, he transformed our destiny but paid an eternal price. Pandora, created as punishment, becomes the mirror image of hope and misfortune.This performance explores these entry and exit points of human experience: progress, freedom, pain, and consequence.
"The legend tries to explain the inexplicable.
As it comes out of the substratum of truth it has
in turn to end in the inexplicable."
Franz Kafka
