Playful Love Photographs
Maja Pelević, a young Serbian dramatist, won an anonymous contest for best contemporary dramatic text at the Sterijino pozorje festival in Novi Sad in 2007. An emotional and surprising theatre piece began to emerge when she met director Matjaž Pograjc and creative members of the Betontanc group. Pograjc decided to form his acting cast from the younger generation of Serbian actors for the purpose of this performance and led them back into the very arena of movement, which was left behind by the first Betontanc cast in the beginning of the nineties. A succession of gentle, rough, amusing and sad scenes slide by, portraying the moments and destinies of random passersby. Even though the story Možda smo mi Miki Maus may seem like a collage of drama motives at first, it becomes evident eventually that the photo machine is producing an image of a contemporary subject, coloured with their joys and worries, their disorientation and resourcefulness. An energetic performance in a true Betontanc style, marked with a pinch of Serbian humour, sentimentality as well as excellent music, not to mention the unique motive signature of choreographer Branko Potočan. The Mladi levi Festival is proud to premiere
this performance of Možda smo Miki Maus to a Slovenian audience for the very first time.
