MEDIATHEK

Untitled - This solo, movement and visual performance is inspired by the work of photographer Francesca Woodman and the feeling of transience that the phenomenon of photography evokes. In "Untitled", actress and director Sláva Daubnerová gives the viewer a glimpse of the creative process. The production's message is built up using picture, thorough reconstruction of the space and reality with which Woodman worked. The audience thus, in "live broadcast", follows how Woodman, with the aid of a self-timer, may have created her most famous photograph. Words are unnecessary. Nakedness as costume.

About the director of the play "Untitled": Sláva Daubnerová (b. 1980) – Director, actor, performer. In 2004 she graduated in cultural studies from the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University in Bratislava. In 2012 she finished her doctoral study at the VŠMU's Faculty of Theatre Studies. She devotes herself mainly to the crossover between theatre, performance and visual art. In 2006 she founded the professional independent theatre PAT as a platform for current theatre, dance and new media.

As a director, actor and performer she has worked with several theatres and taken part in international internships and artistic residences in France, Poland and Germany (stipendium for the "Internationales Forum Theatertreffen" 2011 in Berlin - dance workshop with Nik Haffner).
