Anna Królica,''the Dictate of the body, which is a contemporary dance scene''

It grows almost to the level of the main "hero" of the performance. Viewers see how they react to the dancers body fatigue, change in temperature, shock or other stimulations. This shift toward carnality of performer, was initiated by the premiere of the famous German performance of Sasha Waltz & Guests Körper (Body).
