Leon Marič’s dance debut is based on the still living tradition of the pozvačin (a wedding summoner) and places it alongside his own identity. Although at first glance it seems that Slovenian cultural heritage and the freedom of expression of the contemporary individual have little in common, it is precisely in their confrontation that the performance finds parallels between them, which are most evident in the author’s many “firsts". The roots of the tradition in which he grew up run through him, as do elements of queer (night) culture that have helped him to emancipate himself. Looking at the ritual character of the jocular heroes of Slovenian folklore, it is not difficult to recognise similar levers and potentials in queer manifestations. Just as pozvačin invites us to a large group celebration of a couple's love, queer invites us to a group celebration of diverse, universal love – two expressions of love and celebration, this time fused in the author himself.
Kiss me is a love letter to the existing and emerging traditions of our space and asks us, in a time that demands us to be as punchy as possible, which wedding we are going to.
Avtor si v svojem plesnem prvencu za izhodišče narative vzame še živečo šego pozvačina in jo postavi ob bok lastni identiteti. Čeprav se na prvi pogled zdi, da slovenska kulturna dediščina in svoboda izražanja sodobnega individuuma nimata veliko skupnega, performans vzporednice najde prav v njunem soočenju, pri čemer se najočitneje izrisujejo v avtorjevih mnogoterih »prvič«. V njem se tkejo korenine tradicije, ob kateri je odraščal, in elementi kvirovske (nočne) kulture, ob kateri se je emancipiral. In ko pogledamo v ritualno naravo šegavih junakov slovenske folklore, ni težko podobnih vzvodov in potencialov zapaziti tudi v kvirovskih manifestacijah: tako kot nas pozvačin vabi na veliko skupinsko slavje ljubezni dveh, nas kvir vabi na skupinsko praznovanje raznolike, vsesplošne ljubezni; gre za dva izraza ljubezni in slavja, tokrat združena v avtorju samem.
Küšni me je ljubezensko pismo obstoječim in nastajajočim tradicijam avtorjevega prostora in nas v času, ki od nas kar najbolj udarno zahteva stališče, sprašuje, na čigavo svatbo bomo sedli.
