OKTAGON 25
Act II of project “Two Act Performance with Intermission”
premiere 25.04.2009., Bitef Theater, Belgrade  

Scene as a space of research, mistakes, progress, self improvement, arena in which you can become invisible, overwhelmed with garbage, blown, scared or happy. We are falling down to get up. Beauty of the butterfly forgets the ugly caterpillar from which it grew, such as every art in process of developing. We illuminate to detect. We reflect to see. We are transparent…This performance is dedicated to the opening of “new television Oktagon” which attends to contemporary art on a globa level, where ironically speaking we observe the position of contemporary art in the global society.

"…They performed fragmentary stage piece, dark, apocalyptic performance, that is ironic and self ironic. Story of research, identity, being and existence is told through the body and movement. Exciting performance, demanding for audience, sometimes hermetic, but fascinating (capoeira movements, percusions, dancing in a web).”
