Drugajanje’s second decade of existence will therefore mark a programme that stretches between the engaged on the one hand, and the optimistic on the other. But most importantly, this year’s programme does not shy away from being polemical – not when it comes to tackling the holy grail of the modern era, personal happiness, or screening the notorious film about names, and everyone named Janez Janša … (more…)

Kyohei Sakaguchi: MOBILE HOUSE (Practice for a Revolution)- Japan

Installation

Thursday, August 23rd at 8.00 pm, the installation will beopen until September 2nd
The platform by the Slovene Etnographic Museum

Home is where the heart is

Kyohei Sakaguchi is a special kind of architect. In fact, one might even call him an anti-architect, due to his belief that houses are a commodity to be shared. He is deeply interested in the houses and shelters that are set up by the homeless on the streets of Tokyo. He admires their blend of functionality and style, their use of recycled materials and their ready-made nature, allowing residents to move in anytime and anyplace. According to Sakaguchi, architecture can be experienced in its vivid fullness when one sleeps outside, without any roof or walls. And this is exactly the way he lived when travelling across Japan and India for two years, with no money in his pocket. How much potential does a DIY residence cabin have? For Sakaguchi, architecture is an instinct, a skill, resourcefulness and an archetype. The houses on wheels and the mobile living cabins that he makes invoke the feeling of freedom and human vitality, inspiring people to believe that the society of capitalist greed and consumerism has not entirely succeeded in eradicating the wisdom, creativity, knowledge and ability in us to build something with our very own hands.

Aljoša Ternovšek, Sebastijan Horvat, Matjaž Latin, Andreja Kopač: WAS IST MARIBOR? (Slovenia)

August 23, 2012 8:30 pm

Thursday, August 23rd at 8.30 pm
The platform by the Slovene Etnographic Museum

Proletarians of the world
The documentary performance Was ist Maribor? is dedicated to the rise and especially the fall of the greatest Maribor-based industrial giant: the Maribor Automobile and Motorcycle Factory (TAM), which at its height provided a livelihood for more than ten thousand workers. TAM was what you might call a country within a country. A giant. However, the factory gradually turned into a plundered and ravished industrial landscape due to financial and political agendas that came into being during the transitional era, whereas the workers, selflessly devoted to the factory and to their work, were left with a loss of rights and words. Until now that is. They have finally been given the opportunity to speak up and reveal the truth about the course of their destinies, which seems to contain even more cruelty and drama than any made-up drama could handle. There are real-life victims here. And real-life executioners. This is a dramatic documentary of sincerity and sad absurdity about the times we live in; work is no longer considered a value here and greed no longer counts as a deadly sin.

Reverend Billy, Savitri D: Workshop, sermon, public intervention (USA)

August 24, 2012 4:00 pm

Friday, August 24th from 4 pm

Rebelation
The performer Reverend Billy draws inspiration from American preachers for his flamboyant interventions, which he performs together with a group of activists that he recruits from local communities. The Reverend Billy exorcises the consumerist Devil out of cash-registers or people in shops; he exorcises hypocritical art sponsors who destroy nature and then ask for forgiveness; for example, he exorcised the “evil spirit” of British Petroleum from the Tate Modern. Like the ancient philosopher Diogenes, who carried a lantern around in broad daylight trying to find an honest man, Reverend Billy looks for people in shopping malls. He was preaching on Wall Street and got arrested while licking the cups in a Starbucks coffee shop. In his opinion, people should transform themselves from consumers to citizens. The Reverend Billy merely practices what the church preaches. So… what would Jesus buy?

Workshop:

A preparatory workshop prior to the public intervention will be held between the 21^st and 24^th of August: on the 21^st and 22^nd of August at 5.00 pm and on the 24^th of August at 4.00 pm in the Glej Theatre.

Public intervention:

Camille Boitel: L’IMMÉDIAT (France)

Friday, August 24th at 8 pm and Saturday, August 25th at 8 pm
Stara mestna elektrarna – Elektro Ljubljana

Pulling through chaos
The French contemporary circus performer and stage virtuoso Camille Boitel is an old acquaintance of the Mladi levi festival. His award-winning performance L’Immédiat will breathe life into the magical stage of objects, where nothing is what it seems. Seven young acrobats will draw on their breathtaking physical abilities to defy the ruthless tsunami of destabilizing forces amidst a chaotic reality. Every object and every movement fights against the forces of gravity, released time and time again by Mother Earth in order to keep us bound to her bosom. What you’re about to experience is philosophy in movement; a circus performance, bursting with surrealist imagery, black humour, apocalypse and optimism. Poetry. Magic.

Performers: Camille Boitel, Marine Broise, Aldo Thomas, Pascal Le Corre, Thomas de Broissia, Marion Lefèbvre, Jacques Benoit Dardant
