Bubla Company & Reserva: Solo for Three Vacuum Cleaners [Premiere; Bratislava in Movement]

Solo of a woman, accompanied by Nobody in bizzare images. The woman is struggling with everyday worries and joys of a household. The basic storyline is the transformation of a woman into a mother. What extreme changes does a woman undergo when becoming a mother for the first time? How does it influence her relationships, what does it bring and take away and how can she cope? The performance makes use of a dynamic visual oscillating between the world of fantasy and ordinariness.
Solo for Three Vacuum Cleanersis a movement theatre based on the libretto by Renata Ptačin in cooperation with the costume and set designer Martin Kotúček, composer Peter Groll and the light designer Michaela Pavelková. The team of creators further consists of co-author of the choreography Daniel Raček and dramaturge Peter Galdík.
