NAJ

Choreography | Dance: Agnieszka Jachym
Music: “Heron Blue” by Sun Kil Moon

Premiere: 27.10.2018, Mościce Art Center in Tarnów
Duration: 10 minutes

The choreography of Naj refers to the situation in society, when we are expected to meet unspoken requirements or create images that fit into the canon of beauty established by the mass media. Flawless beauty, perfection, invincible strength. As a result of the pressure to meet them, we get lost and lose our natural identity and uniqueness.

Naj is a story about falls that last forever. There is a question: do we have the courage to be ourselves?

Naj read backwards is Jan. We are talking about Jan Szczepanik (1872-1926), a Polish inventor called “Leonard da Vinci from Galicia”. Many of his patents are still used today in the film and photography industries. His concepts enabled the evolution of future television broadcasting, and therefore the development of advertising, which has been shaping our lives for many years, turning us into consumer creatures.
