This exciting piece, that puts three powerful women on stage, homes in on the relation between personal and professional life. Polish choreographer and dancer Renata Piotrowska-Auffret draws on her personal experiences and the stories of other women to investigate this longing for motherhood within a tangle of reproductive policies, countless promises and attempts to take advantage of the desire for children.
The performance will be presented on 30th of April in KVS, Brussels, Belgium
premiere (postponed): December 10, 2021 | ! NEW DATE ! 24th of January, 2022

Dare to care are podcasts featuring guests from the field of dance, choreography, and art. In our dialogues we are focusing on the notion of care in the context of being freelance artists and parents. We aim to listen to each other and to talk specifically about what is currently at stake in our private and work context in the city and the country we live in, as well as in the world. We aim to speculate about the future – what we think could or should change. We will think in a utopic way and discuss impossible ideas.
The podcasts are created in the part of Grand re Union project (Art Stations Foundation by Grażyna Kulczyk, Poland – CounterPulse, USA, June 2021)

It’s a piece that goes further than a performance, becoming a part of pandemic experience, by creating time and space for physical, mental, social and political recovery in a new reality.
Long-term collaboration with the artistic director of Studio Hrdinů Jan Horák will now have another result – Renata Piotrowska-Auffret has been invited to Prague as a director of the new piece „Waves” (working title) which will have its premier in December this year. It’s amazing to work with such an incredible artistic team and in this beautiful venue in Holešovice, one of the most fascinating district of Prague. We can’t wait to meet the audience, hopefully still this year.
The work on the new piece by Renata Piotrowska-Auffret has just started in Opole, Poland. See how interesting it looks on the pictures – the working title of the piece is Danse Macabre and the premiere is planned for June, 18th. Fingers crossed for the whole group of actors and dancers and undisturbed by Covid-19 process!
Přehlídka experimentální multižánrové tvorby Bazaar Festival se v letošním roce konala pošesté, a to jinak než doposud. Festivalová dramaturgie se věnovala superhrdinkám a poetika se proměňovala s nároky digitální platformy. Autorka taneční inscenace Pure Gold is Seeping Out of Me Renata Piotrowska-Auffret naštěstí nerezignovala na zpřístupnění záznamu představení a bylo možné jej zhlédnout nepřerušovaně a bez průběžných verbálních dovysvětlení. Navazující živá diskuse pod vedením Alice Koubové s umělkyněmi a dalším hostem Kateřinou Olivovou pak rozvíjela ústřední téma projektu vztah mateřství a práce – aktivní umělecká činnost. Vše se navíc odehrálo v kontextu aktuálních masivních demonstrací v Polsku za práva žen svobodně se rozhodnout o svém těle.
The review by Veronika Hrabalová was published in Taneční zóna after ONLINE Baazar Festival in October 2020.
Thank you Bazaar Festival for great opportunity to perform – online – and we hope to meet some time soon, live. In a meantime – we perform FEMALE POWER!
