With the performance Short Cuts we marked the tenth anniversary of the Fourklor physical theatre. The chosen scenes from the past performances are combined in a new context, new atmosphere and a totally new »story of a short stories«. Short Cuts includes all the characteristics and elements typical of the group and the specific approach to the physical theate material. Through balancing and playing with body weight Fourklor is, in its original way, dealing with the functionality of stage properties and with their multiple meanings in regard to the motive of a specific situtation.

Short Cuts also flirts with the concept of exploration of different theatre conditions. With its changing number of dancers and musicians, it can adapt to any space, and choose from a rich variety of scenes.

The mosaic structure of Short Cuts includes fragments of performances that are, by their nature and form, independent. The pieces represent the essence of the group's activity, delineating its spirit and character. By glueing these short stories, characterized by concrete and sensual contents, dancers charge the space with a sense of intimacy, which, by setting individual scenes, using different props and shifting the angle of light, constantly changes its modes.
