Performed by david zambrano and iva bittová: a full evening of dance and music improvisation conducted and performed by those two collaborators and improvisation icons who will unite their forces for the fourth time on stage.

Iva bittová is a violinist-vocalist and composer. Her musical worldview and visionary creativity acknowledge no borders.her powers of spontaneous creativity are more bountiful than it is fair to confer on one person. witness and marvel david zambrano is a thrilling performer of dance improvisation, inspiring teacher and innovative choreographer. His improvisation is committed to art as a cultural exchange developing the creative process in a world without borders. why not! is the title of this unique performance, a symbiosis of their working methods for improvisation on stage. they have performed in berlin, niigata (japan), and prague.

For in addition to their eclectic biographies there is something else that connects them: a passion for improvisation. and so the choreographer, who has always sought contact to other artistic genres in his work, and the musician who is no less inquisitive shall set off together on a journey into the unknown. Why Not?
