„I understand your hesitation, but I cannot wait any longer. I also understand that to be able to fight with yourself you needed to get to know me better: now you know me.

I see storm whirling above me
Smell of silence in the dress of word,
It is raining outside, it is raining at home
Touch of dust falls on my bed,
It is a rule of God´s wasteland
Where throne is the quiet whispering,
Where even od is missing.
WHY Occam´s razor? The title is selected on basis of criteria, which we require from new generation of choreographers. Precision, simplicity of statement, clarity of the topic, strike with appeal on intellectually focused viewer, emphasis on movement analysis, movement exploration of strong visual image. Be distinctive against everything – be different! This striking title appeals on share of intellect within creative work and liberates the work from everything that does not belong there – it is a signal – clear message. It is a principle of logical efficiency, it is about the fact, that all insignificant must be cut off, because it is not necessary not to hear the song due to huge noise. The supervisor of the new project is art supervisor of Prague Chamber Ballet Hana Polanská Turečková.
