Katja Konvalinka, Natasha Bogojevich: Ex/odus of Joy
Ex/odus of Joy is a musical‑theatre fresco, an attempt to create a dialogue between the orchestra and the actress. The interweaving of Migration Waltz by Natasha Bogojevich with interpreted diary monologues and author’s alter ego (singer Katja Konvalinka) poses questions of migration and freedom, creation, the surplus, and the position of women in modern society. The definition of (international) migration can be found in the Resolution on the migration policy of the Republic of Slovenia: as free migration of individuals, as forced migration, and as illegal migration. Ex/odus of Joy puts border crossings in a wider context.
