Excerpt from press review:

“Movement of the fabric, playing of light and colors through the surface of soft fabric and shadows of body figures make you think of her inner places and her hideouts. As she flies in space, she yet again finds herself lost between all that fabrics or maybe she purposely runs away and gets afraid of the bare huge space.”

Daliborka Podboj, Parada plesa

Izsek iz kritike:

»Zračno valovanje trakov, prelivanje svetlobne barvitosti po površini mehkega blaga in senčenje telesnih obrisov za zastori da misliti o notranjih prostorih njenega zastrtega bivališča. In tako, kot je priletela v prostor, se znova kar hitro izgubi med prepletenim blagom, pravzaprav ubeži ali se pač prestraši odprte prostorske razsežnosti.«

O predstavi:

Avtorica čuti odtujenost kot del POTI, ki je integralni del njenega življenja. Občutek odtujenosti se nabira v nezavednem in se na odru odraža kot mrežna struktura tkanine, ki je hkrati tudi avtoričin soplesalec in definira njeno pot v neznano. Čustvene pokrajine, ki jih je ustvarila z izkustvi, puščajo za sabo vezi, iz katerih nezavedno delujemo. Če ne naredimo koraka nazaj k sebi, obtičimo na mestu in sčasoma postanemo vedno bolj odtujeni. Vsi ljudje smo na poti, a naše POTI do cilja so raznotere in edinstvene.

Predstava Odtujenost govori o vezeh, ki človeka do neke mere določijo še pred rojstvom. Tekom življenja z izkušnjami, doživetji in odločitvami nekatere vezi postanejo še močnejše, človek pa vedno bolj vodljiv in odtujen. Ko ne zmore več občutka notranje razdvojenosti, se začne proces počasnega izvijanja iz vpetosti in hkrati iskanje nove povezanosti s samim seboj. Avtorica čuti odtujenost kot posledico pretirane in velikokrat nezavedne vpetosti v nek prostor, kot navezanost na osebe in celo čustva. Vezi, ki se pletejo in nas v življenju slepo vodijo, so lahko omejujoče in nam preprečujejo pravo povezavo s seboj in nadaljnji razvoj. Mnogi se povezanosti bojijo, saj ta poleg lepote pomeni tudi bolečino in ponovno obujanje nekaterih zgodb, ki bi jih najraje le hitro zaključili. Če ne naredimo koraka nazaj k sebi, če ne postanemo bolj iskreni in zavestni, lahko obstanemo na mestu, se zapletamo v eno in isto situacijo, otopeli hlastamo za zrakom in sčasoma postanemo vedno bolj odtujeni. Sami sebi postanemo tujci.

About the pefromance:

The author feels estrangement as a part of the PATH that is an integral part of her life.

The feeling of estrangement accumulates in the unconscious and manifests on stage as a network structure of fabric, which also acts as the author’s co-dancer, defining her path into the unknown.

The emotional landscapes she has created through experience leave behind ties from which we unconsciously operate. If we fail to take a step back toward ourselves, we get stuck in place and eventually become increasingly estranged. We are all following a path, but our PATHS to our destination are diverse and unique. Estrangement deals with ties that determine a person to some extent even before birth. In the course of life, some ties become even stronger through practice, experience and decisions, and one becomes more and more malleable and estranged. When they can no longer cope with the feeling of internal division, the process of slowly unwinding from attachment and at the same time seeking a new connection with oneself begins. The author feels estranged as a result of excessive and often unconscious attachment to a space, as an attachment to persons and even emotions. The bonds that form and blindly guide us in life can be restrictive and prevent us from truly connecting with ourselves and developing further. Many people are afraid of connectedness, because in addition to beauty, it also means pain and recollecting some stories that we would simply like to quickly do away with. If we don’t take a step back toward ourselves, if we don’t become more honest and conscious, we can get stuck in place, get entangled in the same situation, numbly gasp for air, and eventually become more and more estranged. We become strangers to ourselves.
