code#9
description
With a minimalist approach, Code#9 explores the transformative power of darkness and light. While darkness offers the possibility of infinity and transcendency, light carves fragments of the body, thoughts, and breaths. The music offers an immersive and meditative environment that takes the audience into a dreamlike dimension. In constant play with the dark and subtle light, the audience can witness the crossing of various energy states, while the performer leads us in a journey in which the audience takes an active part. The movement vocabulary interpolates the languages of urban and contemporary dance, blended together inviting density of textures, intriguing details and strong presence of the performer.
The performance was created within two residencies: Barcelona (2021) and Skopje (2022). It premiered in “Pogon” Zagreb, then at the “Fuorimargine” festival in Sardinia, Italy. At the renowned “MASDANZA” festival in the Canary Islands, was awarded 3rd jury prize from the international jury, and later was performed Skopje, Sofia, Belgrade, Peja, Zurich, Rome, Cagliari, Mexico and St.Petersburg.
