20. 6. 2018, at 20.00, Maribor Puppet Theatre, Great HallDANCE CENTRE MARIBOR and PLESNA IZBA MARIBOR: premier dance eveningBIRCHESWordless, with her roots anchored deep in the soil, her only company being the wind, whispering about foreign places. About a dream you can hardly imagine, swishing through thin branches and shivering leaves. The birch is a tree of a faraway promise, forever young and agile, but infinitely grieving. She offers consolation in solitude, softens the edges, and melts the boundary between the sky and the earth. She is one – and all. Micro connections and shared consciousness. Forgetting all memories, having no expectations, this is not a story, it is only a flash of now and here, or never and nowhere.
Choreography: April Veselko
SAILING STONESSailing stones are a geological phenomenon where rocks inexplicably move and inscribe long tracks along deserted landscapes. The trails they leave behind differ in both direction and length. The rocks, weighing several kilograms, move on their own or simultaneously in groups. The sailing stones phenomenon has been studied for over a century; however, the mystery of the moving rocks remains unresolved.
Concept and choreography: April Veselko, Monja Lorenčič, Maja Lamovšek
LOOP THE LOOPDo bodies move from their own impulses or as a consequence of a system? Loop the question until you get the answer. The project presents an interplay of pre-structured compositions and the search for authentic artistry of movement, performed by three diverse movers and inspired by the compositions of Karlheinz Stockahusen. Connection mix these vibrations freely (Composition by Karlheinz Stockhausen, From the Seven days, 1968)
Concept and choreography: Maja Lamovšek

SCANDAL IN ST. FLORIAN VALLEYAs a tectonic cataclysm, the scandal, woven out of the bright colours of life, passion, love, and challenges, brings to the surface the people’s self-centred egotism, lies, double morality, and greed – which is so carefully hidden under the cloak of innocence and honesty. Choreography: Aleksandar Ilić in cooperation with Mojca Majcen
WHY AREN’T YOU HERE (ŠTO TE NEMA)(Inspired by the beauty of sevdalinka) Sevdalinka is a unique national musical expression of Bosnia and Herzegovina, intensely intertwined with the spirit of melancholy. Choreography, set design, costume design: Igor Kirov (MKD)
22. 6. 2017, at 20.00, Slovene National Theatre Maribor, Small StageSSPJAbout the performance The project will provide the audience with a platform for a different perception of stage movement, which fluctuates somewhere between abstraction and concretization. We will touch upon the issue of misunderstanding‑understanding of contemporary dance, trying to bring it closer to the wider audience with the help of the elements they are acquainted with: sound, video, text, and concise movement actions. Concept, choreography & dance: Katarina Barbara Kavčič The programme of Dance Theatre Ljubljana is subsidized by the Ministry of Culture RS and Municipality of Ljubljana, Department for Culture.
23. 6. 2017, at 20.00, Slovene National Theatre Maribor, Small StageMARBLE SHOESDance-theatre performance “The essence of humanity is hidden inside a block of marble. The block was taken from the mountain and now it awaits further processing in the middle of a geometric field. We cannot understand it easily. It is perfect and yet full of cracks, black fluid runs through its white veins. This fluid carries in itself long forgotten ideas and stirs emotions torn from the heart.” Marble shoes is a contemporary dance-theatre performance that combines various theatre languages to form empty spaces for the dance of the soundscapes. To get to the dance, we fall through the cracks of our own psyche only to be captured by the water that prevails. The state of powerlessness makes communication difficult and altered movement through the liquid can be frightening. The performance is based on flamenco dance that undergoes structural transformations throughout the performance. Flamenco rhythms merge with original electronic music, fragments of the dance communicate with spoken words, combining various forms of expression into a whole. Movement and voice, the dance of the sounds that replace words, the dance that finds a word and forces it to answer with a cry, the form that absorbs words, the voice that guides the movement. Sometimes trapped, sometimes supported by the rhythm, sometimes completely free. Art direction: Anja Mejač - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0LjZ3NpCUQ
