Read moreVULNERI
By restricting the performers to a confined area, freedom ceases to be a concept and becomes a physical weight. Here, the boundaries of one’s autonomy are no longer theoretical, they are felt. While history often defaults to violence, conquest, or control when space is tight, the dancers in Vulneri propose an alternative: a choreography of coexistence rooted in collective awareness and mutual reliance.

Lecture on the fiftieth anniversary of Pasolini's death by Miklavž Komelj.
Read moredance in stone
The puppet show Dance In Stone primarily opens up the question of how modern human society can so often shape an individual who hates themselves, who is their own greatest rival, their own most despised other. The stones, which in the show function as both puppets and scenography, symbolise the radical other—that which seems uncontrollable or unacceptable, both within ourselves and in society.
Read moreVULNERI
Confining subjects to such a small area makes freedom a concrete reality rather than an abstract idea. The limits of one person's liberty become physically and immediately clear. History shows us that options like terror, domination, and the seizure of space are always possible. However, the dancers in Vulneri demonstrate a different, more constructive path: one built on mutual awareness and support.
Read moreAND YET, THIS IS VICTORY DAY!
On Victory Day, Leja Jurišić and Miklavž Komelj read a dialogue between Capital and Revolution from Pasolini’s Stilna žival, echoing his closing verse: “And yet, this is a day of victory!” The event featured interventions by Darko Suvin (online), Boris A.

With this initiative, our intention was to offer direct support for artistic excellence by providing choreographers with concrete financial recognition. Thanks to the donations gathered, we were able to contribute to the main award of the Biennial, granted to Klemen Kovačič for his work Agmisterij. The award was not simply a gesture of praise, but a resource aimed at enabling the continuation and deepening of his creative practice.

Read moreMESO⏐FLESH
Tatiana Kocmur will once again explore the topic of sexual violence in a provocative environment with her new project Meso⏐Flesh. Unlike The Following Body, which focused on the sheer brutality of trauma, Meso⏐Flesh focuses on the story of rekindling love after the traumatic encounter with sexual violence, presenting the audience with a story of regrowth through pain.
Read moreS 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?
