Equinoxe

akjetam — Tue, 01 Jan 2019 08:59:28 +0000

Lukáš Matejka (TRAKT) participated his own projections on the international project Equinox. Equinox is the result of a two-year cycle of creative stays in France, Mexico, Hungary and Slovakia. It is a multidisciplinary international performance experimenting with the boundaries of ourselves, with little-crossed forms such as classical and contemporary dance, opera, contemporary classical music, theater, video art and animation.

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.
