Cirk La Putyka & Filmová filharmonie CZ

Up End Down Symphony / Benefice pro Nadaci Olgy Havlové

A contemporary circus poem of people and angels.

The cult show of Cirk La Putyka about angels will take place in December 2018 in a unique performance, accompanied by the Film Philharmonic Orchestra, a symphony orchestra with rich experience with live concerts of film music. The orchestra performs under the baton of Chuhei Iwasaki. Witness this unique genre crossroads of the new circus with the music of the orchestra! 

The show tells the story of a man living uniquely with his memories. He lives through his flights and falls but is unable to break free from the luggage he carries in himself to live in a relaxed and liberated way. UP END DOWN is looking at the journey from birth to death, the journey from the earth to the heaven and back through the prism of our fantasy. A crossroads between two streets, between heaven and earth, between the memories and the present, between smile and tears, taking off and falling. A crossroad of genres.

UP END DOWN has appeared at the festival „Janvier dans les étoiles“ (La Seyne Sur Mer). As well, this production has been invited at the Festival Roundhouse (London) and Festival des 7 collines (Saint-Etienne).

"A New Circus poem about people and angels leaves everything Novák produced so far several light years behind."
