Memories are made of this… performance notes is a project which travels within the complex topology of memory. The project operates as a compilation of performance notes, recollection of fragments shattered by time. It explores memories that have been broken or utterly deleted; mental fissures and emotional crack-ups left behind, blank thoughts that are stored as one’s past experience.
‘The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise. ‘
F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Crack-Up
BADco. was founded in 2000 as a collaboration performance group. Their artistic work is marked by the production of various challenging aspects of working in/as collaborative. Authors see their theatre acts as performance machines which can enter various referential contexts such as social, political, intimate, dance and artistic contexts in general. Instead of thematic naming, which stands closer to the traditional ideas of theatre, the group prefers thinking in terms of eventality. BADco. is recognized internationally for its innovative approach, new performing techniques and philosophy introduced both in their joint explorations and individual efforts.
Memories are made of this… izvedbene bilješke je projekt koji putuje kroz složenu topologiju memorije. Koncipiran kao kolekcija izvedbenih bilježaka, projekt istražuje fragmente sjećanja razlomljene ili nestale u vremenu, intelektualne pukotine i emotivne bankrote koji su nastali, prazninu pohranjenu u ostacima nekog prošlog iskustva.
‘Test prvorazredne inteligencije je sposobnost imanja na pameti dviju suprotnih ideja istovremeno i još uvijek uspjeti zadržati sposobnost funkcioniranja. Trebali bismo, na primjer, moći uvidjeti da su stvari beznadne pa ipak biti odlučni u tome da ih mijenjamo.’
F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Crack-Up
BADco. je kolaborativna izvedbena skupina osnovana 2000. godine. Njihov se umjetnički rad bazira na proizvodnji i istraživanju izazovnih situacija koje proizlaze iz rada u kolektivu. Autori na svoje predstave gledaju kao na izvedbene strojeve koji se mogu uključiti u različite referencijalne kontekste poput socijalnog, političkog, intimnog, plesnog i općenito umjetničkog. Umjesto tematskog imenovanja (naming) bližeg općem poimanju teatra, grupa favorizira plesnu događajnost (eventality). Afirmirana na međunarodnoj sceni, grupa Badco posebno je priznata po svom inovativnom pristupu, novim izvedbenim tehnikama te filozofijom koju uvode u svojim kako zajedničkim, tako i individualnim umjetničkim poduhvatima.

Production | Produkcija: Les Sages Fous, Quebec
Duration | Trajanje: 45'

The exploration boat, the HMS Bizzarium, sails the seven seas to search for creatures of myth and lore. The streets become canals, the buildings create fjords, old men on benches become beached whales.
As the boat rocks in the wind, schools of fish agglomerate in its wake. The two explorers dive into the depths of a mysterious oceanic aquarium. They comb the ocean's floor in a city beneath the sea. In the bliss of the abyss they unveil a shipwreck that is their own. The mission is clear. Discover the creatures that lie beneath dreams. Capture the treasure of the unknown. Live to tell the tale.
Les Sages Fous propose a theatre of paradoxes: grotesque and poetic, ritual and mundane, domestic and marvellous. A theatre where images and gestures speak more strongly than words; that is as surprising and disturbing as it is wild and undisciplined.
HMS Bizzarium, istraživački brod u službi Njenog Veličanstva, plovi preko sedam mora u potrazi za bićima iz mitova i legendi. Ulice se pretvaraju u kanale, zgrade tvore fjordove, stari ljudi na klupama postaju nasukani kitovi.
Dok se brod ljulja na vjetru, jata riba okupljaju se oko nastalog vodenog vrloga. Dva istraživača uranjaju u dubine mističnog oceanskog akvarija. Pročešljavaju dno oceana u gradu ispod mora. U blaženstvu bezdana otkrivaju ostatke svog broda. Zadatak je jasan. Otkriti bića koja leže ispod snova. Uhvatiti riznicu nepoznatog. Poživjeti i priču ispričati.
Les Sages Fous vas poziva u teatar paradoksa: groteskan i poetičan, ceremonijalan i svakodnevan, obiteljski i nevjerojatan. Teatar u kojem slike i geste govore više od riječi, koji iznenađuje i uznemiruje, koji je divlji i neobuzdan.

Some Things Happen All At Once

Authors | Autori: Mike Brookes, London, UK and Rosa Casado, Madrid, Spain
Performing | Izvodi: Rosa Casado
Text | Tekst: Rosa Casado, based on texts by Bruckminster Fuller and Philip Ball
Technical assistance | tehnička podrška: Julio Gómez
Photos | Fotografije: Germán Gómez
Co-production | Koprodukcija: Festival Escena Abierta, Festival Escena Contemporánea, Residencia de Creación La Casa del Burro and Rosa Casado

Performance / installation reflecting on human progress and sustainability. It takes its starting point from studies on behaviour of water and draws on Philip Ball’s book Critical mass – how one thing leads to another and Buckminster Fuller’s article Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth. The work is built around the construction and decay of a model forest made entirely of ice. The model consists of 150 individual ice trees, and includes a village of 60 ice houses and a single ice church. What would happen if the nature and consequences of the performance depended on spectators’ decisions?
Rosa Casado is an independent artist and performer from Madrid. Her artistic work is centred on rewriting reality by means of de-contextualizing ordinary daily acts to explore new ways of ‘thinking’ and ‘doing’ as well as on developing interdisciplinary spaces to promote contemporary artistic practice.
Mike Brookes is an artist and designer based in United Kingdom. His work is generally perceived to have pioneered mediated and multi-site performance practices, enabled by experimental uses of technology, and innovative approaches to dramaturgy and documentation.
Performans / instalacija o održivosti i društvenom napretku. Polazišna točka djela su studije o performansama vode, knjiga Philip Ball: ‘Kritična masa – Kako jedno vodi drugome’ i članak Buckminster Fullera: ‘Priručnik za upravljanje svemirskog broda Zemlja’. Radnja se razvija oko nestajanja reprodukcije jedne šume izrađene u potpunosti od leda. 150 ledenih stabala, uključujući selo sa 60 ledenih kuća i jednom crkvom. Što bi se dogodilo kad bi priroda i posljedice performansa ovisile o odlukama gledatelja?
Umjetnički rad samostalne umjetnice i koreografkinje Rose Casado iz Madrida zasniva se na dvije osnovne težnje: prepravljanje stvarnosti kroz dekonceptualizaciju svakodnevnih radnji radi istraživanja novih načina 'mišljenja' i 'djelovanja' te iniciranje interdisciplinarnih prostora radi promocije i razvoja suvremene umjetničke prakse.
Mike Brookes je vizualni umjetnik iz Velike Britanije. Njegov je rad uvažen kao onaj koji je otvorio posrednu i multi-prostornu izvedbenu praksu, ostvarenu eksperimentalnom upotrebom tehnologije, inovativnim pristupima dramaturgiji i dokumentaciji.

Creative life discontinues when dark thoughts come out. Is there a choice, a way to get away? An outside world, help or support, do they actually help? Do we really believe in... them? Where to store the past? Relationship of two people consists of… what? Support? Tenderness? Courage? Where lay those boundaries and can they be crossed? Or can only be accepted. ‘The craft of questions, the craft of stories, the craft of the hands - all these are the making of something, and that something is soul. Anytime we feed soul, it guarantees increase.’ Clarissa Pinkola Estes: Women Who Run With The Wolves
Kreativni život zastaje kad se pojave tmurne misli. Postoji li izbor, možemo li se osloboditi? Vanjski svijet, pomoć ili podrška, koliko zaista pomažu? Vjerujemo li… u njih? Gdje smjestiti prošlost? Odnos dvoje ljudi sastoji se od… čega? Podrške? Nježnosti? Hrabrosti? Gdje su te granice, mogu li se preći? Ili samo prihvatiti.
‘Ta starica stoji između svjetova racionalnosti i mita. Ona je zglob na kojem se ta dva svijeta okreću. Ta zemlja među svjetovima jest ono neobjašnjivo mjesto koje svi prepoznajemo nakon što ga jedanput iskusimo, ali nijanse ga izmiču i mijenjaju oblik ako ih silom pokušamo uhvatiti, osim ako upotrijebimo pjesništvo, glazbu, ples... priču.’

Yukio Mishima: Hanjo

Hanjo is a tragic love story about Hanako, a young woman with a demented mind. Hanako spends her days at the Tokyo train station where she watches every passenger in hope of finding Yoshio, the man she exchanged fans with, as a promise of their meeting again. She lives with the woman painter, Jutsiko Honda, who fears of losing her if Yoshio comes back. One day, Yoshio appears…
Hanjo is one of the ‘Five Modern No Plays’ written in 1956. by one of the most eminent writers of the 20th century, Yukio Mishima. Traditional No drama is characterized as a highly stylized performance on a relatively bare stage. Unlike classic stories, Mishima’s protagonists are obsessed with bizarre erotic desire which leads them to madness and ultimately death, as the only way out of suffering. This adaptation is a story about the author and his phantoms.
Hanjo je tragična ljubavna priča o Hanako, mladoj ženi poremećenog uma. Hanako provodi dane na klupi čekaonice na kolodvoru. Pažljivo gleda svakog putnika tražeći Yoshiu, ljubavnika s kojim je jednom razmijenila lepezu kao znak obećanja njihovog ponovnog susreta. Stanuje kod slikarice, Jutsiko Honda, koja strepi da bi ju mogla izgubiti ako se Joshio vrati. Jednog dana, Joshio dolazi…
Hanjo je napisan 1956. kao jedna od ‘Pet modernih No drama’, jednog od napriznatijih pisaca 20. stoljeća, Yukia Mishime. No dramu odlikuje visoko stilizirana izvedba na gotovo ogoljenoj sceni. Za razliku od klasičnih priča, Mishimini su protagonosti opsjednuti bizarnom erotskom žudnjom koja ih odvodi u ludilo. Samouništenje je neizbježno, smrt je jedini mogući izlaz. Ova je adaptacija priča o autoru i njegovim njegovim fantomima.

Elfriede Jelinek: Jackie

Jackie is a deconstruction of one of the greatest myths of the western society, the one about Jackie Kennedy Onassis. Jackie is the fourth part of the cycle Dramas of Princesess written by the Nobel Prize recipient Elfriede Jelinek. In these short plays that are analogous to Shakespeare's portrayal of kings, Jelinek showcases the identity of a woman by exposing world renowned female personas, from Snow White to Lady Diane. It is with simplicity and inquisitiveness that Jelinek wonders: what would have Jackie Kennedy said if she had talked, extensively talked, if we could have heard her talking to herself. At the end of the monologue, we’d know all about her and be the first in this experience.
Mini Teater was founded in 1999. by Robert Waltl, a director, actor and puppeteer. In its theatrical activity Mini Teater has developed different courses of art practices. The theatre is dedicated to puppets, but also produces performances for adults in their ongoing effort to promote contemporary world drama as well as to establish new approaches in directing or working with Slovene and international stage directors and actors.
Jackie je dekonstrukcija jednog od najvećih mitova zapadnog društva, onog o Jackie Kennedy Onassis. Jackie je četvrti je dio ciklusa ‘Drama princeza’, u kojem nobelovka Elfriede Jelinek, analogno Shakespeareovom ciklusu kraljeva, evocira sudbinu i ulogu žene kroz slavne ženske figure, od Snjeguljice do Lady Diane. S jednostavnošću i znatiželjom, Jelinek se pita što bi rekla Jackie Kennedy da je govorila, dugo govorila, da smo je čuli kako govori samoj sebi. Na kraju monologa, znat ćemo sve o njoj i u tome ćemo biti prvi.
Mini teater je 1999. godine osnovao Robert Waltl, redatelj, glumac, lutkar. U svojoj kazališnoj aktivnosti Mini teater je naročito usmjeren na razvijanje novih umjetničkih praksi. Iako posvećen lutkarstvu, teatar producira i predstave za odrasle u svojoj trajnoj i snažnoj promociji suvremene svjetske drame i stvaranju novih autorskih pristupa u radu sa slovenskim i međunarodnim redateljima i izvođačima.

Zerø Pointing | Nulovanje

Zerø pointing leads us to the grounding. It is a protection from the impacts of a materialistic world and an invitation to the soundness of mind...
Nothing is as it seems and everything is connected. If we notice a butterfly at some point if his flight maybe simultaneously we influence his journey. Everyone has the ability of making his own wishes come true…. be careful what you wish for. I think, therefore I influence.
'The whole story is somewhat like the Zen on the edge of the science and of (in)sanity; the play which derives from nothing and heads towards nothing.’
Teatro VeRRdi is an independent artistic organization founded in Zadar, in 1999. by Juraj Aras. Teatro VeRRdi, known for its performances and comedy art, has shortly after developed into a small production house which has created music for theatre, art performances and various theatre pieces, such as Eksluziv, Gracki djir, Narodne glume s Lutkom, Kralj Gordogan.
Nulovanje je put do uzemljenja, zaštita od udara materijalističkog svijeta i poziv na normalnost. Ništa nije kakvim se čini i sve je povezano. Ako primjetimo leptira u određenoj točki njegovog leta, možda istovremeno utječemo i na njegov put. Svaki čovjek ima sposobnost ostvariti vlastite želje ... pazi što želiš. Mislim, dakle utječem.
'Cijela priča je kao nekakav zen na rubu znanosti i na rubu (bes)smisla, predstava koja se stvori iz ničega i odlazi u ništa.'
Teatro VeRRdi je nezavisna umjetnička organizacija osnovana 1999. u Zadru. U svom početku voditelj Juraj Aras i Teatro radili su performanse, skečeve i glazbu za kazalište da bi potom prerasli u malu produkcijsku kuću koja je pored navedenog producent i kreator nekoliko kazališnih predstava, kao što su Eksluziv, Gracki djir, Narodne glume s Lutkom, Kralj Gordogan i druge.

Beach Patrol

Performers | Izvode: Richard Sidlow, Sean Bresser and Lillian Tulloch
Production | Produkcija: Icarus Performance Troupe (Sydney, Australia)
Duration | Trajanje: 2 sets per 45’

Sharks beware! These three bronzed heroes of surf and sand are on patrol and eager to prove they're ready to rescue. Marvel at their mouth to mouth! Be dazzled by their daring drills! Heroic? Certainly. Posers? Definitely.
You'll be queuing up for CPR after these moustachioed musclemen have bared their biceps while diverting danger. Swim outside the flags at your own peril.
Over the past 10 years Icarus has established itself as one of Australia's premier stilt-walking companies. During this time Icarus has built a strong reputation on its ability to thrill and surprise its audiences with its unique brand of stilt acrobatics and dance. Whether it's a large fiery street theatre spectacle, a choreographed stage piece or large, visual, interactive, walk around entertainment, Icarus combines its wonderful skills with big, bright, bold and beautiful costuming.
Morski psi, čuvajte se! Tri brončana Adonisa su na straži, željni dokazivanja svoje spasilačke spremnosti. Njihovi odvažni manevri ostavljaju bez daha. Junaštvo? Svakako. Foliranje? Definitivno. Trebat ćete masažu srca nakon što ovi brkati golemaši razotkriju svoje bicepse. Sama snaga i štruce čelika. Plivanje izvan zastavica dozvoljeno isključivo na vlastiti rizik.
U proteklih 10 godina Icarus je postala jedna od vodećih australskih kazališnih trupa hodača na štulama. Tijekom tog vremena, Icarus gradi jaku reputaciju na vještini da oduševljava i iznenađuje gledatelje svojim jedinstvenim brandom akrobacije i plesa na štulama. Bilo da je riječ o vatrenom spektaklu uličnog kazališta, koreografiranom scenskom djelu ili interaktivnoj zabavi prošetavanja, Icarus objedinjuje iznimne vještine koje posjeduje sa raskošnim, veselim, smionim i atraktivnim izgledom.

Embodiment | Utjelovljenje

In his solo the author Žak Valenta explores the phenomena of 'an embodied performer' . The body becomes a lonely carrier of all invisible sensors of the consciousness. It is fragile and sensitive to all external sensations. Exhausted from figuring out its riddles. Self-healing in sewing of all invisible injuries. With an eye of a cautious observer, one who never misses anything, he tries to capture a moment that is created for us alone.
Trafic (Transitive-Fiction Theatre) is an independed professional theatre production founded in Rijeka in 1998. Trafic moves the borders between physical theatre, contemporary dance, mime, visual theatre and site specific one. The focus is the human body researched through different artistic forms. Unlike convensional theatres, Trafik desides in favour of simplicity, uncompromising attitude and risk.
U svom solu, putem vlastitog izvođačkog iskustva, Žak Valenta istražuje fenomen 'utjelovljenog performera'. Tijelo radi kao osamljeni prijenosnik svih nevidljivih senzora svijesti. Krhko je i senzibilizirano na sve vanjske podražaje. Iscrpljujuće u odgonetanju vlastitih rebusnih zadataka. Samoiscjeljujuće u zakrpavanju nevidljivih ozljeda. Moment kojeg kreira samo za nas pokušava uhvatiti pogledom diskretnog promatrača. Onog kojemu ništa nikada ne promakne.
Trafik (tranzicijsko-fikcijsko kazalište) je nezavisna profesionalna kazališna produkcija osnovana u Rijeci, 1998. godine. Trafik pomiče granice između fizičkog kazališta, suvremenog plesa, mime i teatra na specifičnoj lokaciji. U centru zanimanja je tijelo koje se istražuje kroz različite umjetničke forme. Suprotno tradicionalnoj kazališnoj praksi, Trafik traži jednostavnost, beskompromisnost i rizik.

Roo‘d

Performers | Izvode: Richard Sidlow, Sean Bresser and Lillian Tulloch
Production | Produkcija: Icarus Performance Troupe, Sydney, Australia
Duration | Trajanje: 2 sets per 45’

Giant Bouncing Kangaroos. A mob of kangaroos on amazing bouncing stilts. Jumping up to a metre off the ground and 2 metres in a bound, they are a phenomenal sight. Their characters are a crossover of an outback macho and inner city punk savvy - always Roo'd but never offensive.
Having performed in over 20 countries around the world, Roo’d is one of Australia’s most successful independent artistic exports.
Roo’d su klokani. Banda klokana na nevjerojatnim dinamičnim štulama. Skaču do metar u vis i dva u dalj. Fenomenalan su prizor. Njihovi su karakteri mješavina macho seljaka i pronicljivog pankera iz predgrađa. Uvijek provokativni, no nikad neugodni.
Roo’d su se pojavili u preko 20 zemalja svijeta, što ih čini jedim od najuspješnijih nezavisnih umjetničkih izvoznih proizvoda Australije.
