Cankarjev dom, Ljubaljana
April 3rd & 4th, Theatre Duša Počkaj, 20h CET
Duration: 60 minutes
Duration: 60 minutes
The Machine project is a duet between Bojana, a choreographer and dancer, and a breathing machine that her daughter occasionally uses. Although the device is present due to the child's health condition, the author explores her personal relationship to the technological device that directly and indirectly affects the author's life.
The author questions the nature of the machine, how it becomes the subject of the performance itself, and how to embody the relationship between the machine and the human.
"The machine is a mediator. The machine is a source of fear and discomfort, but also a source of security and freedom. The machine evokes emotions and demands them." Dimitrije Kokanov
