Award winning contemporary circus company Cirk La Putyka introduces a spellbinding show filled to the brim with enchanting dance, impressive acrobatics and original live music that sets out to examine the experience of time in a world that demands everything be done in haste.
Runners takes on a daring feat performing this completely unique piece upon an extraordinary giant treadmill. Four skilled dancers and two musicians invite the audience to consider life in a fast-paced world – ruminating on the concept of time and the way we move through it, using the treadmill as the central metaphor. As the cast performs powerful choreography, original live music, Cyr wheel stunts and bewildering acrobatics, they also run almost an entire marathon.
Runners was a huge hit at Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2022, the biggest theatre festival in the world.
Cirk La Putyka is a theatre company from Prague, Czech Republic professionally dedicated to the contemporary circus genre. In the 14 years of its existence, Cirk La Putyka has created more than 30 projects, collaborated with more than 300 people of 25 nationalities, performed over 2000 shows and visited 21 countries.
