Two cross-country skiers lost in the map and the season of the year, side by side but in one ski run, are undergoing a cross-country odyssey – a wandering journey with an obscure course as well as ending. Ski poles ready, wax your moustache, an encouraging shot of tea and let´s start! „Skiing Odyssey” draws upon The Trick Brothers´ long-lasting experience with street theatre. Their strong points are self-irony, juggling, handling objects and kind humour. The audience will be both mentally and physically drawn into the play whatever it happens. No trace? It does not matter – this show is not traditional in any way!
As a popular German proverb says: “LANGLÄUFER LEBEN LÄNGER” – “Ski-runners live longer”. Laughter and humour are said to make life longer. So discover the elixir of immortality with this performance!
Bratri v Tricku ensemble is extraordinary for its constant inventiveness in connecting juggling techniques (of top European quality) and theatrical situations. Moreover, it is completely non-violent and very attractive to the audience. In their projects, they actively include the audience in the performance, which creates an authentic participatory spectator experience, while at other times the central pair of creators collaborates with other personalities of the Czech new circus scene and creates extraordinary synthetic productions.The Trick Brothers performancee have already been seen by tens of thousands of people in the Czech Republic, France, Belgium, Sweden, Latvia, Slovenia, Israel, Ukraine, Italy, Poland, Slovakia and Taiwan, and last but not least in China at the EXPO 2010 World Exhibition in Shanghai and at the Formula 1 races in Bahrain.
