MILDREDS a concert, new album promotion

The Mildreds are ladies in tweed. Drinking their afternoon tea; Astrid Mildred Kuljanić (vocals), Uroš Mildred Rakovec (guitar, mandolin), Kruno Mildred Levačić (drums), Blaž Mildred Celarec (percussion, clarinet) and Žiga Mildred Golob (double bass, bass guitar). After successfully wiping the dust from their beloved old pop-songs, they decided to put home-made biscuits on the shelf. Again, without any great display, only with melodies and words, with tea and biscuits! Their product is top-notch and the ingredients are completely natural.

EXODOS- An international festival of contemporary performing arts

With their core theme, a different art, Exodos returns to the beginning: it questions the current situation in the arts; the position of artists in society; the development of different art systems and how they correspond with the challenges of the present and the future; and the understanding and positioning of artistic projects with border languages, multi and interdisciplinary concepts, contents and structures.

Snježana Premuš: EVERY PARROT IS A KING OF HIMSELF (festival EXODOS)

This is the premiere of the multimedia dance project by the persistent researcher of the human body, its perceptions and the relationship between dance, music and video. With language and relationships, Snježana Premuš continues her performances and questions copies and copying. On the one hand, the original has an incredible motivating power due to its direct addressing, while on the other hand, copying is the introductory act to any innovation.

Tarek Atoui: UN-DRUM / STRATEGIES OF SURVIVING NOISE (festival EXODOS)

An intense and physical electronic sound performance. It draws upon the 3 days of arrest and torture the author experienced during the July 2006 war in Lebanon, during which he permanently lost partial hearing in his left ear, after receiving a beating to the head. ‘Un-drum / strategies of surviving noise’ draws parallels between the attempts to break states of physical and psychological detention and siege, and the collapsing of musical performance boundaries, laptop art and electronic music.
