Play

Francesco Matejcek is a physical theatre creator and performer. He graduated in physical theatre from the Folkwang University of the Arts in 2023 and has since worked as a guest performer for various directors. His work revolves around movement and physical challenges such as restrictions, the integration of new technical skills or the accumulation of performative actions. His movement style is a mixture of dance, acrobatics, mime and mask play. He is fascinated by illusions and by making the seemingly impossible possible. The fact that our imagination knows no bounds is a recurring message in most of his pieces.
He portrays people in their everyday lives, which are then disrupted by unusual events until they end up in completely absurd situations. As a performer, he uncovers their hidden emotions, provokes unreflected actions and explores their motivations. As a director, he wants to take the audience on a journey, make them empathise with the characters and give them room to think, secretly hoping for a wow-effect.
At TheatreFragile he plays in close.r.
