Intimita / Intimacy

Choreografia/Choreography: Ján Gonščák

The dance-theatre project Intimacy is based on the novel of the contemporary British author Hanif Kureishi. It tells the story of Jay, a man who is about to leave his family – his wife Susan and two sons. The novel is an intimate record of the last night, which Jay is spending in his house. During the night he is re-evaluating his entire life and looking for an explanation and justification of his deed.
Kureishi, faithful to his controversial reputation and in an effort to shock the reader, takes an unconventional and civil angle on the topic of the break-up of a marriage. Jay is by no means an ideal husband. He has a young lover Nina. Intimacy is an original and at the same time cruel testimony to an irreparably damaged relationship between two people, to an absence of the feeling of intimacy as basis for love and marriage.
