This year we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of a series of performances and events in the field of contemporary dance creativity, which connects and unites artists from our and the wider European area. Over three decades, we have hosted many domestic and foreign dance performances, which have impressed us at various venues in their convincing dance poetics and a string of diverse expressiveness and message.
The Open Dance Scene is a space for both young, talented dance creators and already renowned artists. In Slovenia, they represent a platform for networking dance creativity, originality, daringness and successful international integration.

A dance performance that measures the pleasure of dancing bodies. Dancing bodies that produce pleasure for those who watch and those who dance. Those who dance united in a common desire for their moving bodies to become a dance. Dance as a fantasy of pleasure, confronting exhibitionism of the performing body with the intimacy of dancers' need for constant movement and exploration. Constant movement and exploration as a dance performance.

400 RABBITS is a piece about contradictions.
It refers to our need for stepping out of our comfort zone, allowing ourselves to be guided by the 400 RABBITS.
The piece talks about the need for stepping out of the comfort zone, allowing ourselves to be guided by 400 RABBITS. For them to make us leave and return, remember and forget, lose and find, laugh and cry, make us feel the experience and ultimately connect us to the collective unconsciousness.
It talks about the contradictions of our emotions, relationships and our existence and how these contradictions create a whole/unity – the oppositions that make us experience life and find harmony.
Something that is untranslatable in words.
