About Handa Gote

Handa Gote is an art group which alternates instrumentation of sound installation, non-verbal and dance theatre, live music, visual theatre and technologies. Their work is influenced by minimalism, eastern philosophy and the DO IT YOURSELF movement. It is a mixture of Czech craftsmanship, recycled objects and technologies and the inspiration by japanese esthetic categories Mono no ware, Wabi and Sabi.

 

The Rite of Spring

When the famous ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev asked Stravinsky, who was playing The Rite of Spring for him for the first time on piano, „How much longer will it go on like that?" Stravinsky cordially replied, „Until the end, my dear fellow."

 

Deep Forest

Handa Gote focuses this time on the world beyond the human world, and reflections on it in performance. Deep Forest provides no surprising solutions. Not so much a theatre performance, it´s more a deep ecology mystery, a clash of culture and nature.
