Herviss Family
by Dorin Eugen Ionescu
An art debate between the characters Herviss and Pelviss descends into a dispute. While competing for the top, they engage in a fight between ‘old’ and ‘new’, ‘classic’ and ‘contemporary’. The result is a surprise for one of them.
Herviss Family investigates ways of relating to each other onstage, levels of awareness in the development of a character and the possibilities of building the artistic act through contemporary dance and performance techniques. The result is a creation that applies various artistic tools through a strong interdisciplinary lens.
Meet the Herviss Family and journey to their world. While competing for top place, Herviss and Pelviss take different viewpoints and stances.
An exploration of life’s concepts through physical theatre, contemporary dance, comedy and performance art.
Both entertaining and educational, comedic and informative, part visual spectacle and part academic lecture, this unique theatrical discourse investigates interpersonal relations and character representation.
