Friday, 4. 11. at 19h: Emanat / at 21h: Via Negativa
Saturday, 5. 11. at 19h: Via Negativa

Via Negativa and Emanat announce a joint project, which is to join forces of two independent authorial groups on the basis of common conceptual ground on the one hand and different creative approaches on the other: Via Negativa, under the conceptual guidance of director Bojan Jablanovec, and collaborators in production of Emanat, under artistic leadership of choreographer Maja Delak. At the moment, each group of artists works on its own respective scenic approach to the thematic focal point: disgrace. Both artists and producers see this creative merging as an open door to a mutual point of creative breakthrough, organically melting together ideas, concepts and performative strategies. (more…)

Festival EX PONTO

The central theme of the 18th EX PONTO International Performing Arts Festival is entitled “The End or the Beginning?”, echoing the question frequently addressed in various sociological and philosophical debates, arising over and over again as a recurring motive for those involved in contemporary and especially performing arts. This very question instigated inner subjective dilemmas, controversy and intergenerational disunity due to various social-political reasons in the beginning of the 1990s. (more…)

I dreamt I was a Movie Star (Wroclaw, Poland)

On the first sight it seems as if contemporary society was determined by the massive use of technology, which actually introduced the notion of a virtual, intangible and fictive world into social systems. Invention of motion picture gave art a parallel simulated space of new illusions, which was further on supplemented by a procedural framework and a temporal component in the production of art.

Sanja Nešković Peršin: JULIE

based on motifs from Miss Julie by August Strindberg

“Strindberg’s work is a footnote to the performance Julie. Some other content is plastered over implied cliché postures and gestures. The share of the clarified and recapped text without the illustrative is very allotted… The primary plot is veiled; the same goes for the cutting of the coordinates of the plot. For the most part the action happens in hints. Christine’s (Leja Jurišić) snoring as a sign which escapes the stage directions increasingly announces that the whole system of social order functionally wanes. The lapidary summary of the classical play transfers the dramaturgical emphasis elsewhere, yet it does not seem to even attempt to be a somewhat “exemplary modernisation of a classical play” and steps in another interpretative direction. Shifts between not particularly clear meanings come to a surprising turn near the end.”
