About project:
nowhere is a dance collage of images and stories that dissolves the boundaries between reality and imagination. By combining dance and object manipulation, the piece creates a multi-layered stage language inspired by surrealist art. At the heart of nowhere lies the power of dreaming—as a means to adopt new perspectives, break free from fixed ideas, and view the world with childlike curiosity. Transformation and impermanence are central themes. nowhere explores the constant metamorphosis of our bodies and surroundings. In a world that demands clarity, nowhere advocates for ambiguity, curiosity, and the courage to see reality from different perspectives. Especially in times of uncertainty and negativity, dreaming becomes an essential force—one that drives us, inspires us, and gives us hope. Because only those who dream can create new worlds!
O projektu:
nowhere je plesni kolaž podob in zgodb, ki briše meje med resničnostjo in domišljijo. S prepletanjem plesa in manipulacije objektov predstava ustvarja večplastni odrski jezik, navdihnjen s surrealistično umetnostjo. V središču predstave nowhere je moč sanjarjenja kot način sprejemanja novih perspektiv, osvobajanja od ustaljenih predstav in opazovanja sveta z otroško radovednostjo. Osrednji temi predstave sta preobrazba in minljivost. nowhere raziskuje nenehno preobražanje naših teles in okolice. V svetu, ki zahteva jasnost in enoznačnost, nowhere zagovarja dvoumnost, radovednost in pogum, da na resničnost pogledamo z različnih zornih kotov. Še posebej v času negotovosti in negativnosti postajajo sanje bistvena sila – sila, ki nas žene naprej, nas navdihuje in nam daje upanje. Kajti le tisti, ki sanjajo, lahko ustvarjajo nove svetove!
