При уметничкото истражување и создавањето на претставата „Коло“, ги преиспитувавме современите манифестации на заедницата, со фокус на физичките аспекти на нејзиното прикажување преку танцовата практика.

У.Ф.О. – Омаж за Каталин Ладик
Ирена З. Томажин, Јуле Флирл
Унгарско-српската поетеса и изведувачка Каталин Ладик се смета за „Јоко Оно на Балканот“ и пионерка на звучната и изведбената уметност во Југоисточна Европа: со „SoundBodyPoetry“ од нејзиниот радикален боди арт перформанс „UFO Party“ од 1969 година, ја разбранува тогашната уметничка сцена и воспоставува методи на експериментален пристап кон гласот и танцовиот перформанс веќе во седумдесеттите години на 20 век. Во нивната прва соработка, германската танцова и вокална уметница Јуле Флирл и словенечката кореографка и вокалистка Ирена З. Томажин го слават заедничкиот интерес за уметничката позиција на Каталин Ладик: омаж што ги замаглува границите помеѓу поезијата, актерството и експерименталната работа со гласот, истовремено продолжувајќи го истражувањето на двете уметници во областа на физичкото искуство на јазикот и артикулацијата на различни слоеви на гласот.

“What difference does it make what we are oriented toward?”, asks Sarah Ahmed. In her perspective, queer phenomenology might be the way to be facing towards the back. But what does it mean to be oriented backwards? And more generally, how do we even get oriented?
