ROMAN \u0160KADRA \u201cABSURD HERO\u201d
\nGermany\/Slovakia<\/h3>\n

Roman \u0160kadra\u00a0is a Slovak juggler and maker currently based in Berlin. In his work, various techniques merge to investigate the relationship between body and object. Roman questions the conventional perception of circus, and creates works that stand at the intersection of different art forms. The central theme of his pieces is the absurd and his performances are characterised by intense body involvement.<\/p>\n

What is success? Can I find joy and happiness in my struggle? If the object doesn\u2019t care if I beat it, am I really beating it?<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsurd Hero\u201d\u00a0is an elegant fusion of the Theater of the Absurd and circus, chock-full of laughs \u00e0 la Buster Keaton. With a sparse stage set dotted with a few red objects, the work reveals a dead-pan delirious drama between artist and large heavy globe. Referring to Camus\u2019 philosophy \u2013 \u201cAbsurd Hero\u201d presents circus as a potentially joyful, yet endlessly futile endeavour.<\/p>\n
