“Unbelievable!”, “Moving!”, “Drives into the seat! These are just some of the many enthusiastic reactions after the premiere of Boxality directed and choreographed by Agustin Egurrola, which took place on 21st of November at the Palladium Theatre. The first Polish spectacle in the off-Broadway style events from New York’s stages triggered great emotions. The audience saw an exceptionally strong and beautiful dance story about life without limits. They rewarded the artists with a long standing ovation!
Theatrical space, genius choreography of Agustin Egurrola and moving music of Smolik. And most importantly: the best dancers in Poland. The young, indomitable team of personalities -nine professional dancers from the Volt Group showed something absolutely extraordinary. The main character, played by Julia Żytko, led the audience through the world of emotions and real desires, setting off on the road to happiness. She and the fantastic dancers Julia Adamczyk, Karolina Dziemieszkiewicz, Paulina Kubicka, Adrianna Piechówka, Klaudia Sadło, Artur Golec, Bartosz Kołecki, Marcin Mielczarczyk and Tomasz Prządka made the audience not only witnesses of this story, but also a part of it.
– For a long time I was looking for a topic that is important to me. The idea of “Boxality” was born at the moment when I had become convinced once again about some of my limitations. When I could not jump and achieve some things, because all the obstacles were within me. Then I realized that we are the biggest limitation for ourselves. I decided to talk about it in Boxality,” said Agustin Egurrola, the creator of the show.
“Boxality” is life in boxes – we live in apartments, cars, churches, shopping malls, we are still in some boxes that limit us. Our mind is such a box, and when we die, they bury us in a box… The performance in an unusual way makes us reflect on life. It forces us to consider how we function in these boxes and whether we have the strength to abandon them. Lack of a narrator and spoken words makes it possible for everyone to read the story in an individual way.
Genius choreography, amazing dance moves, beautiful music and a strong final surprise with the live performance of Smolik’s hit “Run” sung by KEV FOXA. The audience gave the artists a long and warm standing ovation!
