MEDIATHEK

After several successful theatrical collaborations, choreographer Igor Koruga and dramaturg Maja Pelević are, for the first time, collaborating on a performance piece, both as authors and as performers. Continuing to deal with perspectives of contemporary politicality, they have been examining in their previous individual projects, in this work, the authors are interested in analysing personal and media narratives that are forming our relationship with the contemporary world, in which all perspectives for struggle and change have been consumed. Instead of fabricating false possibilities of choice and simulating utopian perspectives, Koruga and Pelević are asking whether it is possible to affirmatively accept the state of hopelessness in which all chances for emancipation have been completely abolished. How to approach the continued ironising of historical revolutions and the constant annihilation of contemporary revolutionary attempts? What if hopelessness is the only stable fact of our system? Is there a third way to face it, between utter despair and total surrender? And what happens when we finally run out of it?

The performance is made in collaboration with: Ana Dubljević and Jasna Jasna Žmak (dramaturgy), Darja Janošević (sound), Ksenija Đurović, Ana Vuković and Ana Fotev (production). The performance is a coproduction between Station – service for contemporary dance and Bitef Theatre.
