Heavy Theatre / Fringify - Independent Arts Festival Hamburg

How many steps do I take before I set down?
Heavy Theatre is a play with gravity - a theater of burdens, of efforts, of the beauty of resistance. KHWOSHCH group (Daria Gosteva, Frieda Gawenda, Vavřinec Němec and Tomáš Kočí) has a background in scenography and modern puppet theatre, and Heavy Theatre is their research of the weight as thea main quality of the objects. Weight, which not only presses, but shapes: our bodies, our rhythms, the way we move, the way we experience time.

Heavy objects do not dance - they force us to dance, slow down. Every step, every lift becomes a choreography of endurance. The stage becomes a place of real action, far from illusion, close to the body. It is about carrying, letting go, about work as an art form, about the poetry of the physical. It is about making visible those who lift, build and move every day. Heavy Theatre is raw, truthful, unusual - and invites you to be touched by the power of matter.
