Mateja Bučar: PROCESSING…

Work in process

We are starting an intensive research of the movement with real, as well as unreal ellipses. They invite us into the beauty and strained insanity of their interior relations. Namely, each ellipse is composed of two independent interior focuses and of constantly changing relations between them. A pretty attractive definition for many realities we are involved in. (more…)

Antonia Baehr & Keren Ida Nathan: TINY BUTTONS

collaborative workshop, 2pm – 7pm daily
public presentation of the workshop: December 6th at 8 pm

Performing, directing, writing and interpreting scores – how to collaborate? How can we work together? Between the hierarchical pyramidal structures to the collective, there is an endless plurality of forms of collaboration possible. This workshop addresses different models of conceiving and reading scores, directing and collaboration. It also looks at gender performance as a form of score that encompasses language, gestures, and all kinds of socio-symbolic signs. It examines the boundaries between score/interpretation, rehearsal/performance, director/performer, and audience/presentation, and explores the artistic form of “burlesque”. This workshop’s focus is an investigation through praxis.

17th International Festival of Contemporary Arts – CITY OF WOMEN

The word embedded with mystical powers Abracadabra! represents this year’s main festival theme. It is considered a magic word; its letters had been placed in a pyramid turned upside down and people had carried them around their necks as an amulet to protect themselves against disease and trouble. We therefore decided to place our focus on magic, mystery, illusions, parallel reality, reality ‘as it really is’, rituals and pure imagination, because we wish to take a step aside from the cruel reality, embracing the present day world in the form of general distress and economic crisis. At the same time, we would like to make our way back to the parallel reality and revisit these very hardships through the perspective of different, other and borderline. Instead of ignoring the present state of affairs, we have our mind set on offering an unconventional view on human existence and perhaps even hope, which can be brought about by playfulness and awe, dreams and worship of life with openness, joy and pure wonderment.

ORKESTRADA- concert

Poetry set to music by the ten-member cast Orkestrada carries diversity at the heart of its content. It encompasses themes ranging from romantic lyricism, to melancholic longing and social criticism. Authorial music evades genre restraints and walks freely across ethno music, jazz, blues and other unspecified genres. What matters most is being touched by the beauty that lies in poetic and musical expression; it is all about the poetry entering our ears, eyes and hearts. (more…)
