Interesting Events, Aurora Lubos

So, we finished the rehearsal period and we have got a show !!!
Great!!
Well not so great, because the premiere was full of surprises for me.
I don’t even know where to start. Well I knew that the show is hard because wearing furry hut, a coat hunger on top of it and attached man jacket back to front it’s not the easier costume to wear, first of all you can’t see very well through little hols and its really hot, you can hardly breath in this outfit and at the same time I have to move along not very friendly set full of pots, barrows, ropes, boxes… metal things, wires and so on and so on.

When you are a performer you have got from time to time nightmares about that you forgot the costume or you forgot the movement or your script but I’ve never had one that would be about not be able to see, basically being blind folded all the way through the hole show.
Well I’m might be not dreaming about it but it happened in the premiere.
So all that beautifully crafted and choreographed performance turned to a disaster for me.
I tripped over every possible object
I didn’t catch and of the pots which where thrown at me.
I didn’t hit any of the counts in any of the dance because ones I end up in the barrow I lost it completely.
I slide on the egg.
I smashed my face on the slide thinking that I still have got a meter to jump on it.
I didn’t bang any of the objects in the percussion dance instead I was banging the air with my stick.

Hm….Not a good beginning of the tour at all.
But to finish on a positive note, the following performance next day was great and any of the above things took place. So I’m looking forward to do it again and again and again…
