SECTION PREMIERE : Ana Romih: MEET, MEAT OR EAT HER HAPPINESS (45 minutes, dance performance)
The show is based on a ritual that is leading to ecstatic condition where performer through the body awakens questions and doubts about sincere ecstasy. Female performer is finding ways toward ecstatic moment, ecstasy, finding ways how to make it last longer and how to define the physical and psychological satisfaction, it always raises the question of true and false, sincere and fake.Ritual therefore constitutes worship, devotion, sacrifice for a higher state of mind or/and body, which is presented in the performance and is a tool to achieve the state of pure joy.

MATEJ KEJŽAR: WHITE (video)
White is a continuation of the series of research on choreographic language by Matej Kejžar as a rediscovery of the dance and dance language. “White is not concerned with the product [performance] and its treatment – rather, the operating principle is reversed. White engages with its own everyday practice as a ritual. As a choreographed [ready-made] work. I want to see the color of body in White, the color of the living presence.” (Matej Kejžar)

MALA KLINE: GENESIS (video)
Genesis is woven out of five performers’ dreams. The world of Genesis first appears as dreams, then as an embodied image and form. Each moment is the beginning, the return into the space of creation, where the dreaming and the here-and-now continuously enter into one another and assume form. We are the kings of this space. We are setting the rules by dreaming out the Genesis together. Genesis is an ongoing effort of the world to be born out of our dreams.

LEJA JURIŠIĆ & PETRA VEBER: I FEAR SLOVENIA (video)
Leja Jurišić and Petra Veber strike back sensually-physically in their own style: “Our bodies are perfect. Our bodies are upright. Our bodies are strong. We feel the water. We feel the mountains. We feel the green. We cannot be described. We have to be felt. To feel is to experience. Feeling is awareness. I feel love. I’m scared. I feel him. Grandma is 91 years old. Human is human. I think of grandma. God exist. Pause.”

SILENCE: SELECTED SILENCES (a musical selection of unreleased and rare recordings)
We live in a funny world, in which bombs are being thrown by peacekeepers … in which unemployment is being reduced by facilitating layoffs … in which the economy suffers when people behave economically … and in which music is written by Silence.

RICHARD BUCKMINSTER FULLER: OPERATING MANUAL FOR SPACESHIP EARTH (first Slovenian translation edition)
As the title suggest, it is a manual. A manual for life. But not in the sense of the self-help newspeak of today, but rather in the sense of reflection on how to act with the objective of sustainable coexistence of all of us who have found ourselves – and all those who are yet to find themselves ­– on Spaceship Earth at any given moment. Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth was first published in 1969, and is one of the most popular works of Buckminster Fuller – architect, engineer, surveyor, cartographer, philosopher, futurist, inventor of the famous geodesic dome and one of the foremost thinkers of his time. It is a brilliant synthesis of his worldview.

MATEJ KEJŽAR & RICCARDO GURATTI: HOUSE (project presentation)
Project House is the second in the series of three projects being developed by Matej Kejžar based on Tommaso Campanella’s work The City of the Sun. The first project, Club 1 2, addressed utopia and living in the public space, while House implies a safe space, enclosed by four walls and conceived as a transformation of the artist’s inner world, isolated from external invasions, which questions the outlining of boundaries between one’s own autonomy and influences from the outside.

MALA KLINE: SONG-LINE I  (from the SONG-LINES series) – only on November 17
SONG-LINES is an improvisation project, designed in the context of researching the issues raised by the Song of Songs. SONG-LINES are improvised sequences, in which the author explores the (stage) language as the “third space” of the relational intermediacy between the visible and the invisible, matter and spirit, body and voice, movement and song, stage and spectator, spectator and performer, the here-now and the spaces of dreaming. SONG-LINES are love letters written by our every enunciation.
