Synopsis

What happens to the memories and experiences, the pictures, objects and figures that remain in the constant flux of reality in our brain? Reducing the elements of drama to a minimum, Dalija Acin makes use of our brain’s ability to fabricate consistent, complete pictures from abstract fragments of perception. The interplay between slow movements, visuality and sound is as subtle as it is suggestive: “One should therefore fall silent and surrender to the personal experience of this very daring, radical, analytical and exciting production.

Ivan Medenica

unnamed, somebodies, somewhere, nobodies, mine, inexstent, unspoken, unmesured, invisible, foreign, vague, yours, abandoned, forgotten, disappeared, again...

It is an unusall, suggestive and imaginative exploration of the phenomenon of memories: those images, objects and figures, which are fading away in the constant flux of reality.... In unnamed, unmesured space, made of reconstructed momories, imaginary acts/scenes, reproductions of lapses, the bodies are floating in between of what is shown and what stays forever unspoken...

By using the theatrical codes and redifining medium of dance in the same time , the perfromance is tending/gravitating towards unapierence, afirming the question: is it possible to go to the edges of spectacle, by minimalising its own means?
