Leja Jurišić and Marko Mandić: TOGETHER

In the frame of Gibanica – Biennial of Slovenian Contemporary Dance Art

The performing duo Jurišić–Mandić, in collaboration with director Bojan Jablanovec and writer Semira Osmanagić, addresses the timeless ideal of performing arts and the eternally unsolvable issue of politics: what does it mean to be together, and how to be together. (more…)

Irena Tomažin Zagoričnik: MOVED BY VOICE

Moved by Voice by Irena Tomažin Zagoričnik is always somewhere else; always somewhere at the other dividing line between the body, voice and space. In this project, the author and her collaborators undertake a study of the various sources of voice, its flesh, its materiality and spirituality, and scrutinize its meaning and place in everyday life.

Beton Ltd.: GROSSE ERWARTUNGEN|GREAT EXPECTATIONS

The second performance of the German cycle

Beton Ltd. are a collective of authors: Katarina Stegnar, Primož Bezjak and Branko Jordan. Große Erwartungen|Great Expectations is their sixth performance. They say they always begin a performance from ground zero, but for a performance to emerge from nothing, personal grips are almost always of key importance for them. They do not enter narrations and dilemmas through individual stories alone, but also through personal ones. »We can only legitimately speak about ourselves.« (more…)

Branko Potočan & duo Silence: BLACK FRIDAY

Melancholy as an image of levitation set to music

The performance is based on the poem Melancholic Thoughts by Dragotin Kette; He passed through a forest, a dark forest – his heart filled with sadness and grief. He asked a luxuriant tree: »Do you have any friends, tell me!« (more…)

SENIORS 1.2

Wither, loneliness, sickness, death. A feeling that the life is slipping through our fingers and the world is moving on without us. A feeling that all we have left is memory.

We live in a society that is dealing with ageing through institutionalizing and with stereotypes and isolation. Often, intergenerational cooperation is merely an empty word. Old age has to be presented only as something beautiful, and fear of passing away has to be buried deep within each individual. (more…)

LAST WISH

Music: Goran Završnik, Hannu Risku

​
At the bitter-sweet end of the festival all ensemble members and the audience meet one last time. This time after days of intense work – performances, rehearsals, workshops, discussions and evening get-togethers. Many a word has been said but not every word. A lot has happened and yet certain possibilities are still up in the air. Many a wish has been fulfilled, yet some have not even been expressed yet. At the final festival performance visiting artists will have an opportunity to express their wishes regarding what they still desire to experience on this stage with this particular cast and with this particular audience in this particular space and time.  The rest will do their best to fulfil these wishes. It’s now or never.

Tickets: 5 EUR.

CHAKA CHAKA

Concept and performing: Alenka Marinič, Hannu Risku, Julie Doyelle, Matthieu Loos
Music: Hannu Risku
Lights: Borut Cajnko

The Japanese sound for brushing teeth is an American slang word for sex: »Did you guys chaka chaka yet?«. Now it’s also the name of a European improvised performance focused on physical connection and musicality. Chaka Chaka.

The cast is a combination of many duos : Alenka and Matthieu have met brushing their teeth in silence on one of the French stages. Chaka Chaka. Years later they accidentally caused a festival paper-snowfight in Ljubljana. Chaka Chaka. Julie and Hannu met around a Slovenian blackboard before drawing unforgettable diagonals in Scandinavia. Chaka Chaka. Matthieu and Julie also share two French kids. So let’s Chaka Chaka!

Tickets: 5 EUR (per performance), 8 EUR (for both performances of the evening)

INVITATION TO DANCE

Concept: Maja Dekleva Lapajne
Performers: Julie Doyelle, Ladislav Karda, Lee White, Michaela Puchalková, Peter Frankl, Rok Bohinc, Tomaž Lapajne Dekleva, Urša Strehar Benčina, Vanda Gabrielova and others
Music: Hannu Risku
Lights: Borut Cajnko

The performance is in English. The performance will be limited to 30 audience members.

Just as you wish you could invite someone from across the dance floor to a dance and figure out, in that compressed time of one song, what lingers between you and how for a moment you meet in celebration of life, you can wish to meet someone on stage and let the resulting content flow freely.

International improvisers will invite each other and members of the audience to short sparkling impro encounters. Everyone present on the evening’s playground can embark upon researching a contact. They can sincerely decline the performer’s invitation to a “dance” or accept it and venture into wonderful landscapes of the unknown.

The Invitation to Dance is an event especially designed for this year’s Naked Stage that centres on the theme of connection. It toys with the roles of the performer and the observer, and forefronts relations that weave between everyone involved. In this case the short but sweet, clumsy or focused close encounters between performers and audiences take place on stage.

The event replaces the originally scheduled performance Here You See by Berlin-based artist Christoph Jungmann who unfortunately had to cancel his participation at the Naked Stage festival due to health issues.

Tickets: 5 EUR (per performance), 8 EUR (for both performances of the evening)
