SLIP GRIP

Jitka Sara Páníková’s solo choreography, accompanied by Natálie Pleváková’s music, is a ride on the edge. Literally.
Performer puts on roller skates, which she does not know how to use.
A body that has spent its entire life striving for a perfect control suddenly finds itself on unfamiliar ground. It balances, reacts. It questions its habits. A space is created where a show built on precision is replaced by sincerity and a ride begins just when certainty disappears. Instead of certainty – there’s a search for balance. Instead of performance – a presence.
Fragility meets determination on stage. It is not about falling, but about trust in what happens when there is nothing left to hold on to. For introverts in a noisy world, for anyone who has ever found themselves out of rhythm and yet continued to dance through the world.
And if you are waiting for instructions on how to get out of it – Slip Grip will not give you any. Just the ride. Unpredictable, unpolished – and perhaps liberating exactly because of that.
What if it is precisely when we lose control that we really start to ride?
