RENDEZ-VOUS

The opening of the new title called Rendez-vous has two scenic versions: first one opened on 2 August 2005 in Cathedrale d´Image in southern France, the second originated as a regular performance for the Prague scene.

Both versions, however, were created in a co-production with French La Compagnie Commun Instant and a German agency Noa Entertainment becoming a project financed by the European Union through a grant programme for the development of European cultural co-operation Culture 2000.

The whole performance was much influenced by the environment of a disused stone quarry (Cathedrale d´Image), which intrigued Josef Svoboda and Albert Plecy as an ideal place for concerts, exhibitions and performances. This time, it was Jean-Pierre Aviotte who was inspired by this 'magical' space with unique atmosphere as if created for multimedia projects, to produce a performance based on the principles of Laterna magika, using some other unconventional scenic instruments to narrate a mysterious encounter in the bullring. It is a scenic 'flash-back' of moments of a human life compiled into a mosaic of film, music, choreographic and acrobatic fairy tale.
