premiere 5 October 2020
The artistic connection of Johana Pocková (1992), a graduate of the Duncan Centre in Prague and participant in dance internships in New York and Salzburg, and Sabina Bočková (1995), a dancer with classical training and former soloist of the Prague Chamber Ballet, is a breath of fresh air in the Czech dance environment, keeping up with the European elite. The authorial duo met in the laboratory of Miřenka Čechová & Tantehorse and their first collaboration resulted in the production !O! – Family Therapy (2018), which examined the issue of mental illness. Their own projects, both joint and solo, are presented under the banner of the POCKetART ensemble (the latest being To the Madonna with Rust by Johana Pocková). It was co-founded by Inga Zotova‑Mikshina, who studied dance in St. Petersburg and then at the Duncan Centre in Prague, where she now teaches. The artists are currently moving away from personal topics to focus on the socio-cultural phenomena of the present – such as media manipulation in The Lion’s Den and the irreversible environmental footprint of man in Treatment of Remembering. Their contribution and creative input have also been recognised by the international platform Aerowaves, which included both aforementioned productions in its prestigious annual “TOP20” selection of the best European dance works.
