Drugajanje 2015

Teenage years used to be the period in which an individual’s identity was formed. Today, identity is no longer something formed, but rather a dynamic process, intertwining throughout one’s life in an ever new ensemble. In the cacophony of identity choices, there exists a risk that a choice deafens us or that the choices become categorical, as if there is no more time or will for the entire range between black and white. This is why art is important; a field of the undefined, where new choices emerge, and where lives and identities are beyond categories, beyond dichotomies.

This year’s program of Drugajanje festival invites for a reflection on identities and on experiencing of identities outside the centre, be it sexual, political or locally-global, be it a perception of a different Maribor, as in the guided tours by Peter Šourek, an experience of disillusions of a generation, full of expectations by Beton Ltd. collective, or two stories, bildungsperformances of growing up,  MDLSX and Parallel. Who are we, what are our desires, who are others? From a perspective of identification with another, experience of another, not only a better self-understanding emerges, but also creativity and empathy. And this is precisely the perspective that we want to explore with Drugajanje festival; not only a perspective of arts and cultural education, but a perspective of experience as well, where anyone, faced with the stories of others, can find his place in the world – his identity.
