About project:
In the shadows, everyone encounters a different creature. Some creatures don’t exist — and yet you feel them breathing. Every shadow reveals a fragment of ourselves.
Ana Lekše blends aerial performance, hair-suspension, and shadow theatre into a dreamlike 360° experience. Inspired by illuminated manuscripts medieval bestiaries – where real and mythical creatures share pages with moral fables – the piece follows a young girl’s journey into a world of wonder. Fantastical beings appear: not simply allies or foes, but reflections of her own fears, desires, and instincts.
Within the baldachin, light, shadow, and movement continuously reshape perception. The translucent structure becomes a living canvas, shifting between barrier and gateway, reality and illusion. Silhouettes emerge, dissolve, and transform, inviting the audience into a liminal space where imagination completes what is only partially seen.
In this realm, everyone perceives different creatures in the shadows — perhaps even the opposite of one another — opening space for empathy, ambiguity, and the questioning of certainties.
O projektu:
V sencah vsak uzre drugačno bitje.
Nekatera bitja ne obstajajo — in vendar čutiš njihov dih.
Vsaka senca razodeva drobec nas samih.
Ana Lekše združuje zračno akrobatiko, visenje z las in senčno gledališče v zasanjano, 360° izkušnjo. Navdih črpa iz srednjeveških bestiarijev, iluminiranih rokopisov, kjer se resnična in mitološka bitja prepletajo z moralnimi prispodobami, ter sledi poti deklice skozi pokrajino čudes. Na poti se pojavljajo fantastična bitja: ne zgolj kot zavezniki ali nasprotniki, temveč kot odsevi njenih lastnih strahov, želja in nagonov.
Znotraj baldahina svetloba, senca in gibanje nenehno preoblikujeta dojemanje. Prosojna tkanina deluje kot živa membrana, ki se giblje med pregrado in prehodom, med resničnostjo in iluzijo. Silhuete vznikajo, izginjajo, se preobražajo ter vabijo občinstvo v liminalni prostor, kjer domišljija dopolnjuje tisto, kar ostaja le delno vidno.
V tem prostoru v sencah vsak uzre drugačna bitja — včasih celo nasprotna drug drugemu — in tako se odpre prostor empatije, dvoumnosti in negotovosti.
