O predstavi
Kdo je tipičen »Balkanec«.? Gre za nekoga, ki bi ga prepoznali, tudi če ga še nikoli niste srečali. Gre za poosebitev in način, kako se giblje, skoraj kot da bi že vse videl in večino tega že preživel.
Celo v zraku diši po njegovi dediščini, ki se je morda nekateri sramujejo. Ta »balkanizem« ponazarja, kako identiteto na Balkanu pogosto oblikuje distanciranje od drugih – celo od sosednjih kultur. Balkan je vedno Drugi: leži nekje drugje, vedno malo bolj jugovzhodno, s paradoksom, da ko pridemo na samo dno balkanskega polotoka, Balkanu spet čudežno uidemo. Njegov prostor nam neprestano uhaja – od vzhoda do zahoda ter od juga do severa.
Plesna predstava raziskuje dediščino, stereotipe in utopije skozi družbeno-politično satiro. Popelje nas skozi popotovanje med dvema ločenima svetovoma in nam zastavlja vprašanje: ali sta ta dva svetova inherentno ločena ali sta bila ločena?
About the performance
You recognize “Balkanec” instantly, even if you have never met him before. It's the way he moves, almost like he's already seen everything and survived most of it.
Even the air smells his heritage that some are ashamed of. This “nested Balkanism” illustrates how identity in the Balkans is often shaped by distancing from others — even neighboring cultures. Everyone wants to be slightly less Other than the next.
This solo performance reflects on heritage, stereotypes and utopias through socio-political satire. It takes us on a journey between two separated worlds, leaving us with the question: are those two worlds inherently separated or have they been separated?

O predstavi
»Pridne punce« se razvija iz želje po povezavi z notranjim otrokom. Fragmenti spomina, nagona in igre postanejo semena za gibalne krajine. Način pristopa k telesu skozi radovednost in ne skozi gotovost.
Ustvarjanje iz tega mesta vabi k intuitivni in protislovni logiki. Ne gre za upodabljanje otroka, temveč za to, da se določene lastnosti pojavijo na površju: spontanost, iznajdljivost, svoboda spreminjanja smeri brez razlage.
Ta pristop odpira nežnejši odnos do neuspeha, do spremembe, do postajanja. Dovoljenje za igro, poskus, nevednost. Majhna gesta skrbi in hkrati tihi potisk naprej.
Proces se nagiba k domišljijskemu kot obliki upora pričakovanjem. Dotika se identitete, nostalgije in ženstvenosti, pri čemer se premika skozi subtilno spravo s tem, kar je prisotno, kar manjka in kar je še vedno mogoče.
About the performance
'good girls' unfolds from a desire to connect to the inner child. Fragments of memory, instinct, and play become seeds for movement landscapes. A way of approaching the body through curiosity rather than certainty.
Creating from this place invites intuitive and contradictory logics. It is not about portraying a child, but about allowing certain traits to surface: spontaneity, invention, the freedom to shift direction without explanation.
This approach opens a gentler relation to failure, to change, to becoming. A permission to play, to try, to not know. A small gesture of care, and at the same time, a quiet push forward.
The process leans toward the imaginative as a form of resistance to what's expected. It touches on identity, nostalgia, and femininity, moving through a subtle reconciliation with what is present, what is missing, and what is still possible.
