The author / director of the project is Tomáš Moravanský, working in the field of intermedia, conceptual and dramatic works. He focuses on audiovisual projects, opera direction, gallery installations, music and choreography. The production line of the project is covered by TRAKT.

The introduction of Interpellation deals with human movement as a daily, work or social programmed form – a register of civil movements that do not fall into dance but can be its starting material. These are activities related to the creation and interpretation of a work of art and leisure activities in which the actor automatically enters ecstatic state and in which the process itself is important. The project adopts a choreography understood as a system of power control over the human body in activities that are understood in society as a manifestation of freedom or individualism.

Kafka’s “America” and “Lock” novels served as the subject of the project, as were the stories of illegal immigrants leaving today from Mexico to the United States. The atmosphere is based on Karol Beff’s original musical work, which won the title of Best French Composer in 2013. Directed by the French director and artistic director of Euroculture Laurent Festas. The introduction of the Equinox was premiered in the summer under the Marseille – Provence 2013 program.
