Special HUMOUR in DANCE by elledanse (SK)

The historical site of a former slaughterhouse on Miletičova Street has become a permanent dance space in Slovakia. The founder of the theatre and its artistic director, the highly acclaimed choreographer Šárka Ondrišova, has succeeded in turning it into the professional elledanse Dance and Theatre School. Nonetheless, elledanse is not only about dance, but is open to a diverse array of cultural events, including exhibits, concerts, workshops, film showings, discussions and children’s camps.

During each theatre season, elledanse Theatre has developed at least one original dance performance, which enjoyed success both among critics and audiences. At the beginning of its current season, its sixth, it presented the premiere of a dance theatre piece entitled Long Night,written and directed by the well-known playwright and founder of GUnaGU Theatre Viliam Klimáček. The main roles were performed by actors Csongor Kassai and Viktor Horján. During previous years, elledanse has created many other original dance pieces, including: Water from Water (Voda na vode), Quadrans, Silent Snow, Tribute to Cows (Pocta kravám) and Canto Hondo – a profound song about her..., which have been applauded at international festivals and on stages in the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary.

Creation of new works at the elledanse Theatre is mostly focused on contemporary dance, music and physical theatre. It brings together the most diverse artistic genres and styles building on a global trend of combining artistic styles. The performance HUMOUR in DANCE by elledanse has been created specially for Kremnica gags festival. It is suitable for the audience since the age of ten.
