TWENTY-one

Twenty directors and choreographers. One performer. TWENTY-one presents Ibsen’s Nora of the 21st century, seen in twenty different ways. It raises questions of female identity, identity of an artist and of a mother who refuses to be trapped in a “doll’s house”. Directors from Prague, Nairobi, and Ukraine bring their own realities and personal experiences into the character. Each creator has two days of rehearsal to develop a two-minute performative fragment with the performer Miřenka Čechová. The performer’s body thus becomes a living document, a catalogue of twenty different directorial approaches.
