BOI

We say goodbye after a beautiful four years to the already grown-up “BOI” and we will let him walk through life for new adventures. It has been our pleasure.
A fusion of dance, physical theatre and traditional folk songs from various regions of Slovakia. How does a boy become a man in today's postmodern society? Every man regardless of age and experience looks for his ideal model. Every kid wants to be a hero, no matter what kind of heroism it could be. His search is of instinct, observation, imitation. His ideal is distinction, his instructor is solitude and his guide is... a woman. Is it possible not to be a hero? Is it possible not to be a man in a man's body? Not to be like other men might be a betrayal of their kind, it is cowardice, frustration, perhaps even a betrayal of the tribe. The burden of expectations and stereotypes mingles with their own decay. We are a community of male outsiders.
