Silent Scrutiny

The entire film is set in the Supreme Court in Prague, which becomes an imaginary stage for exploring the symptoms of contemporary cultural unrest. The courtroom itself symbolizes dynamic spaces that involve strong interpersonal and social dynamics and are characterized by a clear hierarchy of power. The space is occupied by four performers who perform gestures such as whispering, preparing to speak, swearing, or trying unsuccessfully to shift the rigid architecture. The protagonists seem to be both actors and observers, imaginary NPCs stuck in the courtroom, constantly preparing for a speech and a narrative that never happens. 

The wave of neoliberalism has led to an erosion of historical consciousness, blurring the lines between past, present and future, and leaving us in a state of confusion and aesthetic chaos. We are haunted by lost futures that were promised but never came. So what is left when historicity disappears? It's a vibe. It's time to have no agenda, it's time to just vibe. The vibe is what's left when everything else is gone. The video draws inspiration from collective experience, internet culture, shared journals, my own choreographic practice, principles of discipline and emotional expression. The work aims to create a complex lyrical situation that explores personal

vulnerability while depicting bizarre situations as a means to understand active relationships and social boundaries.
