ObnaŽENA
Alluring. Furious. Exhausted. Bursting with energy.
Loathed. Mythical. Adored. Underrated.
Menstruation. Woman. Always the same, yet constantly changing.
It is all still me. *obnaŽENA* (Laid Bare).
Women arrive alone, with brave partners, or even in groups of ten. They aren't quite sure what to expect. After all, it’s supposed to be about female emotions—perhaps menstruation. Hopefully, it won’t be literally flowing all over the place.
And in the end, it does flow—but from a different source. Tears of emotion and laughter stream down.
While they may have arrived under the cover of darkness to avoid being seen, they leave feeling fulfilled, self-confident, and healthily proud of themselves. And the men? They look relieved. Because they have gained a clearer understanding of what women experience—and why it matters.
With aerial acrobatics performed above the audience, live vocals, dance, and dramatic scenes, *obnaŽENA* blends contemporary circus with theater in an emotional, multi-genre production about the female body and emotions.
Creator and aerial acrobat Ivy Kolcun was honored with the "Woman Changing the World in Culture" title at the Women Changing the World Awards CZ & SK 2025, recognizing the social impact of her work.
