Is there a way to save a troupe that is falling apart and prove that the long-term on-stage hard work wasn’t in vain? The heroes of our new performance, professional acrobats, wish to create a revolutionary artistic piece with an extraordinary spiritual and cultural value. Something that goes beyond them. A spectacular play that is going to change their lives forever. Their magnificent project needs to be paid for first though, so they become (as many other artistic ensembles) fully dependant on generosity of grant committees and fickle favour of the audience. They’re willing to sacrifice just anything to achieve their goal: their own money, pride, and even their health.
The draft of the magnificent performance is constantly changing, depending on the budget. The acrobats need to deal with the pessimistic condition of gymnastic apparatus, unsatisfactory training environment and other bizarre problems. Outside the training rooms, other stories are taking place, reflecting real-life experience of our acrobats. They’re forced to find a balance between daily theatre rehearsals and their “normal” job, so they can devote to the activity they truly love. They’re inventing a truly Czech way to save the day, using many DIY hacks and resourcefulness. There’s gonna be a way out of this mess. There’s gotta!
