Join us at Studio Pekinpah (Trg prekomorskih brigad 1, 4th floor) as we mark the 10th anniversary of Tomaž Šalamun's death and 100 years of the Surrealist Manifesto. Through words, movement, and presence, we’ll summon the birds so they cease to fear — for death is but a mistake of naming, and dance is yet to come. Interventions by Miklavž Komelj and Leja Jurišić, with guests Tibor Hrs Pandur, Marko Rop, Dan Rosenberg, and more.

Welcome to Spider Festival 2023, a Dance study of the digital space as a field of resistance to the hegemonic contemporary choreography interfaces. We invite you to tilt in and out and encounter empty frames filled with organic materials. Welcome to the place of opacity, inhalation, and reflection. Bring all the data and expectations, and let all thought be metabolized by idiosyncratic dancers who feel their way through the world imaginatively and artfully.
S T R I P T E A S E
This is a story about oscillations between certainty and indeterminacy. Rejecting the traditional relationship between Dance and Choreography means attentively following the myth of Aphrodite’s birth. Born from foam, Aphrodite evokes images of irregular rhythmic patterns, the spectacle of movement over movement, and the voyage from one pattern to another. Will the cut between one and the other always mean the end of repetition, a kind of end of reproduction? How will we handle this change? Will we?

Anamaria Klajnšček and her team blend music and dance to explore the potential of a ceaseless collective flow of thoughts. Movements trigger sounds that constantly drives new motions, all reflecting cognitive processes. An interlace of four individual entities, fighting for attention, diving into a whirl of shared thoughts with a single motive: to keep going on.

Filip Štepec in Jernej Potočan nagovarjata čas, v katerem Google brskalnik najbolje pozna naš notranji svet. Za izhodišče vzemata nereflektirano vskadanjost, beg med štiri stene, skrite fantazije, ki pa se paradoksalno zrcalijo v naših brskalnikih.

Ljudje posegamo v gozd, a je tudi moč gozda, da oblikuje ljudi, neizogibna. V gozd si gremo celit rane, v gozdu rane nastanejo, tišina gozda ni nenasilna, glasnost sveta prav tako ne. Z Rdečim gozdom Leje Jurišić se sooči pet plesalk in plesalcev, koreografinj in koreografov. Nastaja omnibus soočanj z gozdom in rdečo.
