WE DO NOT KNOW THE LOGIC OF THE WIND/ Sonja Pregrad, Nives Sertić (HR)

An expanded performance about fake nature and real excitement. A conversation between a body and a camera, this performance unites dance, video, documentary and humor. It is a poetic conversation between two friends, in which one is not the wind, while the other is a landscape of breath.

Video artist Nives and dancer/choreographer Sonja started research work in Prague in summer 2013 by examining identity as a question of relationships and of the way we reflect those that we are in a relationship with. This took them to the Fatamorgana glasshouse of exotic plants at Prague's botanical garden to examine the question: is the need to create an attempt to arrange something outside of oneself, arrange something which is already naturally self-arranged?

"I am looking at you while you are looking at me while you are being looked by the audience and you are looking back at them while we are trying to clarify our relationship and how is that in a relationship with the seed that reflects the universe... ."

Performance is a part of Bazaar 2016 festival. It is in English.

FESTIVAL PASS IS AVAILABLE ON GOOUT.CZ.
