No language barrier / 70 min.

The performance Hey, Earth! invites you on a journey into the world where movement theatre, new circus, and visual arts blend together. You’ll find yourself in an environment rich with rituals, fantasy, and a quest for understanding, where every movement and object on stage carries a meaning.

This experimental project by Cirk La Putyka and director Thomas Steyaert deliberately steps outside audience’s expectations. It explores the boundaries of human communication, creating tension not only through acrobatic feats but also through minimalism, silence, and static imagery. The stage, filled with objects that performers use to build and deconstruct the world around them, opens a new space for imagination. Unlike traditional circus performances, where one act follows another, here the circus appears and disappears, helping create unique emotions. The performance follows the explorations presented in previous Cirk La Putyka projects, such as Black Black Woods or Hit, Tell the Difference.

Hey, Earth! offers not only a visual experience but also deep reflection on human values and relationships in a time of conflict and uncertainty. The atmosphere is enhanced by music of Jan Balcar and Veronika Linhartová.
