Absolute Pearl / Strange Fruit / Australia
Director: Phillip Gleeson


Strange Fruit (1994) je proslavljena izvedbena skupina iz Melbourna koja svojim osebujnim stvaralaštvom i čudesnim stilom oduševljava publiku širom svijeta. Lebdeći na vrhu 5 metarskih motki grupa donosi uzvišenu predstavu kojom objedinjuje ples i akrobaciju stvarajući nov i jedinstven kazališni izraz. Svoj rad predstavili su u 46 zemalja i na preko 350 festivala.

Njihova najnovija produkcija odvodi rad grupe na novu razinu, angažirajući neke od najistaknutijih melburnških koreografa i plesača za izvedbu ove vizualno aktraktivne i uzbudljive predstave.
Absolute Pearl
je nježna poruka svijetu koji je počeo gubiti smisao za romansu.

Australia’s Strange Fruit (1994) is a much celebrated performance company that creates and performs a unique style of work for audiences worldwide. Using 5 meter flexible poles, the performers bend and sway to impossible angles combining elements of theatre, dance and circus to create an original style of performance. Having presented their work in 46 countries and at over 350 festivals, the company’s repertoire has a universal appeal and is accessible to all cultures and ages.

Strange Fruit’s newest show,Absolute Pearl, takes the company’s work to a new level, using some of Melbourne’s foremost choreographers and dancers to execute a visually charged and emotionally evocative piece. Absolute Pearl is a sublime response to a world that has begun to lose its sense of romance.

Rock the Baroque / Zadarski plesni ansambl / Croatia
Choreographer: Sanja Petrovski


Najraskošnije stilsko razdoblje u umjetnosti prikazano u suvremenom plesnom ambientu. Poveznicu svjetova čini pripovijetka Dvije jeseni, Brune Schulza, predstavnika katastrofizma u suvremenoj poljskoj književnosti. U svom djelu autor poistovjećuje raskošne manifestacije jeseni i baroknu umjetnost nazivajući ih staretinarnicama ljepote. Ludističkim zaplitanjem scenske igre stvara se ugođaj ljepote i kontemplacije, a svime dominira nezaobilazna i vječna tema – prolaznost.

Prepoznat po raznolikim stilovima, Zadarski plesni ansambl (1991) kombinira klasične i moderne plesne tehnike s elementima fizičkog i dramskog kazališta nudeći nov i nekovencionalan repertoar kojim dugi niz godina pronosi strast za suvremenim plesnim izrazom široj publici.

Fragments of one of the most flamboyant stylistic periods in art displayed in a contemporary dance air. The link connecting these worlds is the essay Two autumns by Bruno Schulz, one of the eminent dissidents in contemporary Polish literature. In his story the author identifies luxurious manifestations of autumn with the art of baroque calling them the antique stores of beauty. Ludicrous entanglement of scenic game creates a theatrical atmosphere of beauty and contemplation while everything is dominated by an unavoidable and eternal theme - transience.  

Since 1991, Zadar Dance Ensemble has produced numerous dance plays and performances bringing their passion for modern dance to a wider audience. The group combines modern and classic dance techniques with the elements of physical theatre and drama in creating their new and unconventional repertoire.

Tree House
/ Co.incidance / Netherlands
Choreographers: Tommaso Di Battista & Angela Herenda

Istražili smo doživljaj prilagođavanja novoj situaciji, adaptiranje prilikama i okolnostima, i učenje iz njih. Ako iskustvo dolazi od onog što vidimo, što biva ako ništa ne bismo vidjeli? Tree House traži pristupe radu skupine, prihvaća spontanu diplomaciju i dinamiku potaknutu instinktom. Performans uzima pravila mase u nadi da će nam dati pravi osjećaj zajedništva.
Co.incidance (2008) promišlja teatar kao beskrajno gibanje mnogih realnosti koje se mogu i ne moraju dogoditi planirano.

We experienced adapting to a new situation, opportunities and circumstances, also learning from them. If we learn from what we see, what happens if there is nothing to see? Tree House looks for approaching a group environment accepting spontaneous diplomacy and instinct-driven dynamics. Performance takes mob rules hoping it would give us a sense of togetherness. Co.incidance (2008) perceives theatre as a never ending motion of realities which may or may not occur out of a design.

Feeturing
 / dance_lab collective / Croatia
Choreographer: Petra Hrašćanec Herceg


Relativno vrijeme, prostor i jedan identitet.
Feeturing... je solo koji se bavi cjelovitošću emergentnih dijelova jednostavnog čina hodanja. Materijal čine dekomponirani fragmenti zamrznuti u vremenu kojima je jedina konstanta promjena težine. Vrijeme razlomljeno na sekvence re-kreira različitu stvarnost na višoj razini. Percepcije stvarnosti tako proizlaze iz vremenske relativnosti jedne te iste stvari.
Dance_lab collective (2003) okuplja plesne i audio vizualne umjetnike radi potrebe istraživanja umjetnosti suvremenog plesa i njene interakcije s drugim medijima.

Relativity of time, space and one identity.
Featuring... is a solo which deals with a wholeness of emergence properties of a simple act of walking. Material is consisted of decomposed fragments of time where the only constant is a change of weight. When torn into its sequences time re-creates different reality on a higher lever. One’s awareness of existence thus arises from relativity in time of one same substance.
Dance_ lab collective (2003) assembles dance and audio visual artists from a need to explore contemporary dance and its interaction with other media.

Bernard-Marie Koltès: Sallinger / International
Director: Ivica Buljan
Theatre National de Bretagne / France, Mini Teater / Slovenia, Novo kazalište, Kazalište Hotel Bulić, Scena Amadeo, Zadar snova, Art radionica Lazareti / Croatia


New York, 1964. Mladić kojeg su zvali Riđi počinio je samoubojstvo i ostavio svoje najbliže u potpunom očaju. I dok se obitelj vraća u sjećanja pokušavajući prazninu ispuniti riječima njegova mlada udovica dolazi u otmjenu kuću tražiti svoja prava. I njegov se duh neće odoljeti vratiti i obračunati sa svojim najbližima.

Iz genijalnog izbora Sallingerovih novela, Koltès je napisao dramu o histeričnoj obitelji, seksualno neurotičnim mladima, izgubljenoj generaciji roditelja. Riječ je o najnasilnijem i najavangardnijem Koltèsovom komadu.

New York 1964. A young man whom they called Red committed suicide and left his love ones in a complete despair. And while the family returns to memories trying to fill the void with words his young widow comes to a classy house to claim her rights. And his spirit will not resist returning to confront his loved ones.

From the ingenious choice of Sallinger’s novels, Koltès wrote a drama about hysteric family, sexually neurotic youth, lost generation of parents. It is the most violent and most avant-garde piece by B. M. Koltès.

Something Happening
by Rosa Casado / Spain & Mike Brookes / UK


Something happening / snapshots predlaže otvoreni razvoj događanja i izvedbu performansa u specifičnom kontekstu – kao javni akt, kao instalacija i kao vibrirajuća slika. U svojoj osnovi Something happening je svjesno i namjerno intervencijski, ali njegova namjera nije provokacija već je njegova poetika primarno sugestivna i poticajna. Rad pokreće akciju, kao i tragove i ostatke tih akcija; stvarajući privremenu događajnost na specifičnom mjestu, onom  na kojem stvari mogu postati moguće i kad drugdje nisu moguće.

Something happening / snapshots
proposes a public development and realisation of context specific performance works –- as public acts, durational object works and as resonant images.
At its heart Something happening is deliberately interventionist, but its intention is not to provoke, its poetic is primarily one of proposition. The work engages action, and the traces and remnants of those actions; to construct temporary event specific places. Places where things might become possible which are not possible elsewhere.

Urbanthropus / Da Motus! / Switzerland
by Antonio Bühler & Brigitte Meuwly


Urbanthroups je drevno i futurističko stvorenje. Živo biće, bez spolnog određenja, a ipak s izraženom erotskom snagom. Pojavljuje se neočekivano, kao u snu, izaziva svojom nevinošću, zbunjuje rutinu publike svojom bizarnošću, prije nego što nestane, tko zna gdje.

Urbanthropus is an ancestral and futuristic creature. This living being, belonging to neither sex an yet possessing a certain erotic power, appears unexpectedly as in a dream, provokes with his innocence, troubles by his strangeness the daily goings-on of the audience before disappearing who knows where.

Boris Vian: Vodoinstalater
/ Teatar &TD, Music Biennale Zagreb / Croatia
by Natalija Manojlović (direction and choreography) & Gordan Tudor (composer)


Student – apsolvent nadgrobnog slikarstva svirao je saksofon na jednom mostu. Bio je uzoran student. Pred njim je bila blistava budućnost. Imao je čast nositi najveći trometarski kamen u školu. Putovao je vlakom svako jutro u 3 sata. Nije mu bilo lako visiti iz vlaka i držati trometarski kamen koji nije mogao proći kroz vrata vagona. Nekoliko puta tijekom školovanja on i student – apsolvent ispali su iz vlaka, ali srećom, kamen je ostao čitav...

Vodoinstalater je komorni balet nastao prema motivima zbirke novela Mravci crnohumornog francuskog pisca Borisa Viana. To je potresna priča o mjestima i vremenima koje rat nikada nije zahvatio pa su ona morala zahvatiti njega; o susjedskim odnosima i povijesti maltretiranja, o običnim ljudima koje vianovska percepcija pretvara u čudovišta ili barem čudake.
Vodoinstalater
je crni balet. Ne bi mogao biti bijeli jer su i partitura i libreto crni, a humor ovisi o bojama zastave pod kojom se igra.

Student graduate of tombstone masonry played a saxophone on a bridge. He was a model student, bright future ahead of him. He had the honor of carrying the largest 3-meter stone to school. He traveled by train every morning at three o’clock. It wasn’t easy for him to hang from the train and hold the 3-meter stone that could not fit through the wagon door. It was few times during the school that he and the student graduate fell from the train, but fortunately the stone remained a whole ...

The Plumber
is a chamber ballet based on Boris Vian's motifs of his collection of novels The Ants. It is a shocking story about places and times that were never affected by war, so had to effect the war by themselves, a story about neighbours’ relations and the history of harassment. It is story about normal people turned into distorted caricatures.
The Plumber
is a black ballet. It could not be white because its score and libretto are black and the humour depends on colours of a flag under which it is performed.

Eclipse of Pygmy
/ Adam Read Company / Israel
Director: Adam Read


Eclipse
je niz transparentnih slika, osjećaj poput onog da prstom ne možemo osjetiti miris kamena, teksturu mjeseca, odraz zamrznutih močvara i životinja koje prožimaju tihe šume, nastanjujući tišinu zvucima poput zbora odvažnih malih svirala.

Eclipse of Pygmy
djelo je stvarano kroz period od tri godine. Tijekom tog vremena, koje uključuje naukovanje u svjetski poznatom ruskom fizičkom kazalištu Derevo, Read provodi sate u otkrivanju objekata i odnosa okruženja kao što su stara istočnonjemačka radio tvornica, veliko stablo, mali ribnjak i labirint.

Nakon svjetske turneje s hit predstavom Delirium Cirque du Soleila, rođeni Australac i lažni Europljanin, Read zapalio je pozornice predstavom Eclipse, ispunjen vitalnošću i snagom proizašlim iz isrcpljujućih treninga i brojnih izvedbi prožetih strašću i divljom ljepotom... Gotovo magična stvarnost Eclipse originalna je poput sna.

Eclipse is a series of transparent images, a sensation of likeness that we cannot put our finger on to experience the smell of a stone, the texture of the moon, the reflection of a frozen swamp and animals that enchant in silent woods that populate silence with fortitude of sounds like small pipes.

Adam Read's Eclipse of Pygmy has been devised over a three year period. During this time that included an apprenticeship to the world-renowned Russian physical theatre troupe Derevo, Read spent many hours discovering objects and relations to environments such as an old East German radio factory, a large tree, a small pond and a labyrinth.

Having spent the past year touring Canada and America with Cirque du Soleil's smash hit show Delirium, the Australia-born and Europe-forged Read explodes onto the stage with Eclipse, full of vitality and strength derived from extensive training and performance combined with passion and violent beauty... The almost magical realist quality of Eclipse is original as a dream.

En vie ... en ville
/ Da Motus! / Switzerland
by Antonio Bühler & Brigitte Meuwly


Predstava koja propituje logiku otuđenih odnosa koju ljudska bića stvaraju u interakciji s urbanim okružjem. Pravi spoj mehaničkog s nabojem izvedbe.

Da Motus! su 1987. osnovali priznati plesni umjetnici Antonio Bühler i Brigitte Meuwly. Grupa je gostovala na festivalima i kulturnim događanjima u preko 150 gradova i 36 država svijeta. nspirirana nježnim promišljanjem svijeta prirode njihova praksa uzima oblik studioznog koreografiranja radikalno kostimiranih tijela u organske inatalacije na specifičnim lokacijama. Koristeći hiperboličan i nestvaran riječnik, vrhunska, impresivna vizualna gramatika biva ispisana u nečujni geometrijski balet.

A remarkable performance that questions on the logic of the alienated relationships human beings create with the urban environment.

Da Motus was founded in 1987 by renowned dance artists Antonio Bühler and Brigitte Meuwly.
Inspired by a sensitive contemplation of nature their work takes the form of meticulously choreographing their dramatically costumed bodies into site-specific organic installations, using a continually innovative, highly gestural, hyperbolic and surreal vocabulary. This spectacular visual grammar is scripted into a silent geometrical ballet involving extreme metaphor, fantasy and control.

The company has performed at festivals and cultural events in more than 150 cities of 36 countries.

Via Nova
izvlači svih osam produkcija Via Negative nastalih u periodu 2002 do 2008, kako bi re-producirala materijal u novom kontekstu i novom formatu, ujedno i razotkrila značenja koja su Via Negativi promakla. Via Nova je projekt projiciran kao ciklus 30 performansa kojima grupa nastoji podvući položaj, važnost i utjecaj performera kao kreatora suvremene umjetnosti. Namjera je ponuditi gledatelju pogled na Via Negativu u novom kontekstu, ne opet, već iz-nova, Via Nova.

Via Nova will draw on all the eight productions of Via Negativa that emerged between 2002 and 2008, so as to rework this material in a new context and a new format, and open up meanings that have eluded us in Via Negativa. The Via Nova project is conceived of as a series of 30 performances. With this series, we wish to highlight the position, meaning, and significance of the performer as a creator of contemporary art. The intention of Via Nova is to make the spectator see Via Negativa in a new context, not again, but anew – Via Nova.
