Anti Status Quo Companhia De Dança: KAMELEONI (BR)

Brazilian dance company Anti Status Quo is an independent artistic experimental laboratory of contemporary dance. Their name alone implies they are against the existing state of affairs; they want to move us (and themselves) out of the status quo by means of hybrid art, which spans across contemporary dance, visual art, experiment, research … They construct critical and political dramaturgies and a strong dialogue with visual arts and philosophy. The group was established in 1988 by choreographer Luciana Lara, who today shares art direction with Brazilian producer, set designer and designer Marconi Valadares.

Chameleons is an »urban intervention of disappearing«; the dancers’ bodies become canvases for printed media and advertisements, creating visual distractions and accents in the city. And every disturbance, distortion, alteration of the known – or already well-known images and familiar scenes in different configurations, and in communication with bodies in general – call for different perception and the combination of the meanings seen.

Siniša Labrović: FISHING and STORM IN THE GLASS OF WATER (CR)

Siniša Labrović works mainly in the fields of body‑art, performance and visual art. In Ljubljana, he is best known for his actions and installations in the field of visual arts – he is currently part of the exhibition Heavenly Beings at the Museum of Contemporary Art, and he recently had an independent exhibition at The Match Gallery. Through his work, he addresses the ambiguous and painful aspects of society, such as nationalism, the vampirisation of the Catholic Church, reality shows, the understanding of the past, and also the media degradation … His most notable project globally was stado.org, a reality show with sheep. He dressed up the island of Goli otok (Naked Island), sang the text of Gloria magazine to the sound of gusle, licked the feet of the audience … All his projects have a very clear point, but at the same time they are very open to interpretation, as he does his part and leaves the interpretation to the audience.

He will carry out two performances in Ljubljana – both with extremely suggestive titles, which makes a more detailed description almost redundant. Fishing is a durational performance, which means you can catch it any time of the day or follow it all 7 hours, whereas Storm in a Glass of Water is a one‑off event.

Via Negativa: 365FALLS

Each performance is a dangerously slippery situation. Both for performers and for the audience. We are all looking for something unique, exceptional, unforgettable. This path is filled with unexpected slips, falls, and failures. This is precisely why we’re doing theatre, why we are eager to see the shows. We are risking. The one who does not risk anything does not gain nor lose.

Beton Ltd.: ICH KANN NICHT ANDERS

The performance will be in Športno društvo Tabor’s hall (Tabor 13).

“Ich kann nicht anders leaves an impression of staging some fundamental existential fear, powerlessness and the feeling of uneasiness that still remain with the spectator after the performance ends. The form of the performance is built on the dramatic, and is based on the excellent acting skills of the three authors/actors/performers … “ Nenad Jelesijević, Radio Študent (more…)

Ideal (M)other

Sound play on the maternity myth, premiere

My womb is a holy machine,
crucial for society and state.
My breasts are the fountain of life,
they feed her and him,
despite mastitis.
I’m a container of the highest quality class,
the best, all-natural, the only one,
the cleanest flower of paradise,
wonderful dawn, the miracle of reproduction, the guarantee of the well-being of nations.

Come. Fill me up gently.
Step with me.
Melt together with the mother.

Come.
