Bojana Robinson: Mašina




The "Machine" is a duet by Bojana, a choreographer and dancer, and a breathing machine occasionally used by her daughter. Although the device is present due to the child's health condition, the author explores her personal relationship with the technological aid that indirectly and directly affects her life. She questions the nature of the machine, how it becomes the subject of the performance, and how the relationship between the device and the human can be embodied.

The machine is an intermediary. Machine is a source of fear and discomfort, but also a source of safety and freedom. The machine evokes emotions and demands them.
