✨ “And I would scream, but they have places for people who scream.” ~ Charles Bukowski

How much do we need to scream to be seen? How much do we need to show to be heard?
The solo performance Hit delves into amplification, exaggeration, and extension within the act of a blow. It engages non-aestheticized physical gestures that overflow into action, image, word, and text, adopting a minimalist yet impactful approach to theatrical expression. Radicality and anger transform into the language of everyday life.

This performance connects to Jan Bárta’s previous solo Pitch from 2015, presented both in the Czech Republic and internationally, and resonates with the direct style of the Bárta-Třešňáková duo, known for works like It's Actually About Not the Paradise (2010) and Sticker (2014), the latter nominated for Performance of the Year and the DNA Nová síť Award.
