Who are the artists?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"homesickMichikazu Matsune<\/strong> grew up in the coastal city of Kobe, Japan. He spent most of his childhood with his brothers and friends at the nearby beach. After graduating from high school, Michikazu traveled to Europe and eventually moved to Vienna, Austria, where he has lived for over 20 years. As a foreigner, he was often asked if he felt homesick, and to that familiar question, he always answered \u201cno\u201d \u2013 until recently. Michikazu is a performance artist who works in a variety of formats, contexts, and spaces, including theater, museums, public and private spaces. His work, characterized by poetic absurdity, playfully and critically reflects on our globalized world. His favorite fruit is watermelon. www.michikazumatsune.info<\/a><\/p>\n

\"homesickBruno Isakovi\u0107<\/strong> is a performer and choreographer who grew up on the edges of the Balkan Peninsula, where people act first and think later, and where inconsistency is the only thing that is consistent. As a child, he took apart a battery-operated mini fan and placed his sister’s Barbie body parts on it to watch them spin and shoot through space. Wanting to learn more about it, he made his first life mistake by enrolling in the Secondary Electrical Engineering School, where he learned nothing about the spinning of body parts. The future didn’t seem bright, but luck found Bruno at his first electro party in the nineties, when he managed to split the atoms in his head and untie his body through jumps and turns on the dance floor. Bruno graduated from the Amsterdam School of the Arts and has been creating body art<\/em> and dance performances ever since, where he often searches, finds and loses meaning by answering the questions of how we got where we are and became who we are. His performances have been presented at festivals in New York, Tokyo, London, Sao Paulo and Hobart. www.brunoisakovic.org<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Vedrana Klepica<\/strong> was born in a small working-class town in continental Croatia, where sunsets often mirror the phenomenon of the aurora borealis<\/em> in quality and appearance, due to the refraction of the sun’s rays in collision with atmospheric pollution, mainly smoke and sulfur gases emitted by the local petrochemical industry. She soon discovered that poetry has the ability to reproduce even in such dark and gloomy contexts, and began writing on her own initiative, mainly in radical performance drama forms in which she was both the performer of the text and the only audience. A few years later, she enrolled in dramaturgy and has since then continuously depressed viewers at home and abroad with her works. Wikipedia_Vedrana_Klepica<\/a><\/p>\n

\"HomesickNina Kurtela<\/strong> was born in Yugoslavia, and now lives in the same place, Croatia. Over the past 15 years, she has spent considerable time in Vienna, Paris, Helsinki, Tbilisi, Taipei, Portland and Brno, and has lived in Berlin for almost a decade. Constantly on the move, she has often felt elated, inspired, curious, exhausted, lonely, nostalgic, happy and sad. Her experience of a displaced and precarious life as an artist has led her to question the concepts of home, identity and belonging. Living and working on the relationships between Berlin and Zagreb, dance and visual arts, material and immaterial, she slowly realizes that home is not just a physical place, and increasingly begins to feel at home precisely in these in-between spaces, creating her own imaginary space of existence. www.ninakurtela.com<\/a><\/p>\n

What kind of performances can I expect?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It all depends on the artists who come to you. Michikazu Matsune is a performance artist, Bruno Isakovi\u0107 is a performer and choreographer, Vedrana Klepica is a playwright and theater director, and Nina Kurtela is a dance and visual artist. <\/p>\n
