- ANNOUNCING THE ARTISTS
This year, TRIGGER is bringing you some of the most exciting names in the Slovenian independent performing arts scene. Here is the first glance at their pick.
Beton Ltd.: Grosse Erwartungen / Great expectations I performance (Bunker)
After ecology, transitional/growing‑up loss of illusions, the impotency of resistance, generational angst, time has come for great expectations and the future of those, who have everything. To lose.
Žiga Divjak: Fever I performance (Mladinsko Theatre, steirischer herbst 21' and Maska)
Climate crisis, class society and neoliberal capitalism. Is violence the answer? Performance about the limits of one’s own consciousness and historical responsibility to change the world.
Matija Ferlin: Sad Sam Matthäus I performance (Emanat, Matija Ferlin, Wiener Festwochen, CND Centre national de la danse, Istarsko narodno kazalište – Gradsko kazalište Pula)
Pain. Death. Passion. What happens if the idea of performance outdoes the possibilities of bodily action? Bach’s St. Matthew Passion as a performance for a single performer.
Matej Kejžar: Movements 9 I performance (Pekinpah, Matej Kejžar)
9 pieces, 9 movements. A ‘favourite album’ as a choreographic frame where dance resonates between proto-knowing, rhythm, musical force, listening and hearing, narration and abstraction.
Lea Kukovičič: FORSALE I artist talk (Bunker)
Auction house for theatre performances. Next step in the history of ownership and the future of the ephemeral economy.
Zoran Petrovič: Victora 2.0 I performance (Moment, GT22)
Winners are confident. Winners are passionate. Winners never quit. Winners have partners. Winners have sex. Winners win. Performance on the boundaries of reality and illusion.
Mark Požlep, Maxime Berthou: SOUTHWIND I cinematographic essay and artist talk (Glej Theatre)
Paddle steamer, 1712 miles of the Mississippi River and two artists in the heart of colonial land. Practice-based research and performance in the making in co-production with SPRING Festival.
Irena Tomažin, Jule Flierl: U.F.O. I performance (Irena Z. Tomažin + Jule Flierl, SOPHIENSÆLE, Zavod Sploh, Charleroi Danse Centre chorégraphique de Wallonie-Bruxelles, PACT Zollverein)
A homage to Katalin Ladik that blurs the boundaries between poetry, acting and experimental voice work, while continuing the two artists' own research.
Dragan Živadinov: Finalizem::Fonemi I theatre production form (Delak)
Life is a dream. Theatre is a medium of baroque illusion. Hail to the theatre spotlight!
Nataša Živković, Sara Šabec: Everything is Alright I performance (City of Women, Ljubljana Puppet Theatre)
No education without participation! First hand tales from high school students about the kind of education they want. And deserve. Hey, the kids are alright!
