Past event

Body as a Weapon is a dance and multimedia solo inspired by grand parades called “Spartakiada” practiced in Czechoslovakia in the times of Socialism. These parades united thousands of people synchronized in unison choreography, demonstrating the idea of peace and community on one hand, political power on the other.

This solo performance of athletic and rhythmic action examines the cultural and historical context of Eastern European socialist propaganda and highlights the use of female body as a tool for political domination.
