Last Dance

How do you dance with someone who is gone?

Can you bring them back through a dance?

Can their absence bring you back to yourself?

How do we overcome loss? The loss of someone close to us? Or the loss of an ideal? Or vision for the future?

In LAST DANCE, Tereza Ondrová returns to her opening solo from Call Alice to revisit a loss from the pandemic. In this one-time-only solo, set in a dance hall where we dance as many, Ondrová will dance as one. She will dance to recover and to discover how loss can be transformed.
By revisiting and working with materials from the past, Temporary Collective works with the concept of degrowth – creating from one source – or upcycling. We attempt to rethink our working methods and focus on themes of sustainability on a personal, professional and environmental level.

Premiere: 19. 11. 2024, 19:30, Palác Akropolis

LAST DANCE can be performed in various contexts: theaters, classrooms, museums, galleries, festivals, train stations, and public squares.

INSECTUM in…ZURICH

2. 10. 2025 (12:00) — Tanzhaus Zurich (CH)

CURYCH TANČÍ, protože INSECTUM je v CURYCHU 🪲 Choval*a ses někdy jako hmyz? Silvia Gribaudi a Tereza Ondrová opouštějí lidsky zaměřené vnímání světa a s plnou fyzickou námahou hledají naléhavé a potřebné poznatky měnící jejich životní styl…. protože jaký by to byl život, kdybychom ho viděli z pohledu hmyzu? Jak se změní náš způsob života, když jsme inspirováni jinými živými bytostmi? Jak můžeme překonat náš antropocentrický pohled na svět?

🙌🏻 Přijďte to prozkoumat s námi: 15. a 16. května v Tanzhaus ZürichCURYCH IS DANCING - because INSECTUM is in town. 🪲� Have you ever acted like an insect? Silvia Gribaudi and Tereza Ondrová step away from a human-centered perspective and dive into full-bodied physicality to uncover urgent, transformative insights… because what would life be like if we saw it through the eyes of an insect? How does our way of living shift when we are inspired by other living beings? Can we overcome our anthropocentric view of the world?� 🙌🏻 Join us in exploring these questions: May 15th and 16th at
