Prikézsia (also prikezsia, prikezhija) is a Romani word meaning: misfortune, accident, curse.

During the creation of this performance, we explored our relationship to tradition. Our focus turned toward the gap between generations, with special attention to the expectations piled upon us—sometimes seemingly unnecessary ones.

An unavoidable topic was Pancu. At times we had blood-boiling debates about how he got there at all, and what he was even doing there. Should we lift him up? High into the air. Would that still shock anyone? Or should we rather crawl inside him? We thought a great deal about this during the interdisciplinary creative process.

Then Pancu began to tell stories. He just kept talking and talking. He told us. In writing, this would be far too long.

Let’s meet! Allow us to guide you along this adventurous path we built from ourselves. Come!

Now, come on, give me a kiss! (smack)

And be sure to come—otherwise you’ll bring prikézsia upon us!
