Haibo Illés – Richárd Melykó: Drill
Drill is both performative and tactical, based on the restlessness of creators at the beginning of their careers. It explores each other's chances and cultural conditions in an empty space under the glowing work light.
Schedule
"The duo was action-packed and subversive. Their uniqueness is very striking. The two performers played openly with different mottos (...) ranging from conscious awkwardness and unbearability to the exuberant joy inherent in the action." (Said Hana Strejčková after the Prague presentation)
"Aware of the vulnerability of their bodies in a shared space with the audience, Illés and Melykó overcome fear with curiosity, a sense of adventure and comic timing. Can they find comfort in exploring the threat of power and the uncontrollable desire to fly in an empty public space, or is it a space of struggle?"
The work premiered at the Alfred ve Dvoře theatre in Prague as part of the Bazaar Performance and Dance Festival's residency programme in spring 2023.
