Enjoy the day. But what if a carpet, an obstacle, treacherously appears during that day? Or two? What to do with them? Jana Rychává and Jindřich Panský decided to explore the possibilities. Sometimes life slips between your fingers, sometimes it's a ride. It is just as uncertain as movement with a carpet. The performance tries to find answers, but also to ask new questions. Enjoy the day with us along with all its obstacles. An unconventional performative walk, which combines dance, circus and fine art with the spaces of a gallery or museum.
