New Perforations are coming!
24. – 28. 6. 2025.
The Perforation performance and performing arts festival will be held for the 17th time from June 24 to 28 .
Perforations are a space for artistic experimentation and questioning, and one of the most important goals of the festival is production and co-production support for the independent art scene. Four premieres and three re-performances, along with the inevitable Performance Night, will transform Zagreb into a performance center where cultures, stories, artistic expressions and media intertwine.
This year’s edition of Perforation opens with the premiere of Aleksandra Janeva Imfeld, Bruna Isaković and Mija Zalukar under the title Once Upon a Time Tomorrow at the Zagreb Dance Center. At the festival, performances of Nikolina Komljenović “s Compassion Exercise and Gonzalo Quintana’s Fierce Simultaneity , as well as a reprise of Vedrana Klepica’s Things that Burn Easily , as well as the fourth part of Sonja Leboš” s Opera Commerciale , will be premiered at the festival. For the first time in Zagreb, the cult play Angels in America directed by Ivica Buljan and co-produced by the Ljubljana Mini Theater will be performed.
Performance Night 26. 6. will animate the whole of Zagreb; focusing on the construction site as a liminal place of transformation and the immediate reality of the city, six artists — Arijana Lekić-Fridrih, Siniša Labrović, Karlo Štefanek, Emil Matešić, Robert Franciszty and Katrin K. Radovani — will encompass city squares, green areas and streets with their performances.
