FESTIVALS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES

FLOW - Festival of conversation between culture and science (2008)

In April/May 2008.  in collaboration with Austrian ministry of foreign affairs and "Art Council" from Vienna, organised the first "Flow - festival of Conversation for Culture and Science" in Novi Sad which was announced and open by the Austrian Minister for foreign affairs Ursula Plasnik.

"Mislim reku / I think river"-performance, Novi Sad, 2008. The performance deals with a metaphoric river - the inner river of images, flow of counciousness, stream of memories and sensations. It deals with the movements' and breath's stream,  the waves and vibration of the performer' s body. It deals with seed of inter-personal communication. The dramaturgical approach is questioning the nature of “theatrical context” by creating ambiguous situation between public and intimate space. Documentaristic issues from real life of the performers are associated with the texts and the theme by devised authors. The texts of the authors are processed by a personal and autobiographical re-writing by each performer. Choreography and formal scenic languages are inter-posed to a non-theatrical approach to the performers “presence”.  Actions take place in a big space containing a virtual series of enclosed spaces of small dimensions. Inside each-one of small spaces a suspended ambience - a “vacuum” where a performer is virtually left alone and his/her conscience is free to float from images to images.
