The topic of the process of transformation in adolescence offers a huge number of subtopics that could or should be addressed. Processing reactions to changes in the body, self-evaluative processes, the search for identity, unclear futures, social events and the uncontrolled influence of social networks...
The METAMORPHOSIS project lovingly draws attention to our youth, to whom this dance performance is dedicated.
It does not refer to any particular issue of the human developmental period. The creative team has drawn on their memories, feelings, sensations or thoughts of the period in which they were shaped into the stage of adulthood.
The dance performance was based on the visual ideas of the artist Zuzu Hudek. Various recycled materials, pieces of clothing, forms and shapes were the inspiration for the choreography by Barbora Janáková.
Responses from a questionnaire filled out by seventy young respondents offered a variety of fashion styles, musical genres and world views. The authors of the project organised an audition for a young performer, thanks to which they met Dáša, a 2nd year student of the gymnasium.
Through words and illustrations from the book "Alma y los siete monstruos"by Iria G. Parente and Selena M. Pascual, the creative team delved into the theme of mental health and the feelings of adolescents in transition.
THE PERFORMANCE INCLUDES AN EXHIBITION THAT DOCUMENTS AND COMMUNICATES THE PROCESS OF CREATION TO THE AUDIENCE.
