Woodstock 1969. – 2019., Pedeset nijansi queera

[ps2id url=’#eng’ offset=’80’][/ps2id]

Queer Zagreb Sezona, Eurokaz & MSU nisu zaboravili da je od Woodstocka, znamenitog rock zbivanja jedne generacije, prošlo 50 godina i da okrugle godine služe za pravljenje i gutanje veselih i tamnih okruglica osjećanja i sjete.

U režiji Branka Brezovca, te uz Zdenku Kovačiček u ulozi Janis Joplin i Zlatka Burića Kiće u ulozi Joea Cockera, prostor underground atmosfere garaže MSU-a obasjavat će 50-metarske vizualizacije Ivana Marušića Klifa. Za glazbu se brinu i Greenhouse Blues Band i niz drugih izvođača i umjetnika, glumaca, VJ- i Djeva, zborova i plemenitih šarlatana (kao Cockeri, Hendrixi i, recimo, Baezove). Svi ovi veseljaci podsjetit će nas, u nekom neodgovornom približavanju happeningu (tako se zvala rastresita, usputna forma, majka samosvjesti današnjeg performansa), na pogubljene i pogubljene intenzitete svake vrste koji su tresli temelje uhodanih navika vječnosti i kamenih obzora odmah iza susjedovih plotova.

Pomalo tugaljivo, a kao bi drugačije, približimo se slutnji da ako revolucije jedu svoju djecu, onda seksualne revolucije jebu svoju djecu.

Dance is a mating ritual.
Even today in the age of Tinder, Grindr and online dating, dance continues to play a
central role in how many of us find a mate. This dance production for four Romeos (one
of whom is performed by a woman) explores the idea of dance as a thrillingly up close
and personal form of courtship. Each spectator can slip into the role of Juliet and
witness the dancers’ struggles to impress — with their artistry, charm, athleticism, slick
moves and at times nothing more than naked desperation.
The audience sits on seating areas distributed throughout the performance space.
Their reactions and interactions are visible to all, thus the audience becomes characters
in the very performance they are witnessing.

The Swiss-American choreographer Joshua Monten was born near New York City. He studied literature and cultural anthropology at Duke University before discovering dance at the relatively late age of 20. As a dancer he performed with Bern Ballett, Stadttheater Heidelberg, Öff Öff Aerial Productions and DA MOTUS! He has worked with choreographers such as Stijn Celis, Hofesh Shechter, Irina Pauls, Konstantinos Rigos und Tino Sehgal. In 2012 Joshua Monten founded his own dance company which has subsequently given hundreds performances at festivals and theaters around the world, including Hivernales d’Avignon, Esplanade Theatre in Singapore, Ramallah Contemporary Dance Festival, CIFCET Festival in Cairo, Festival de Danza Nueva in Lima, Krokusfestival Hasselt, Festival de Chassepierre, Swiss Contemporary Dance Days and Queer New York International Arts Festival. Joshua Monten regularly choreographs for theater, opera, ballet, museums and arts outreach programs. Indeed, his work as a choreographer is informed by these encounters with diverse audiences and varied forms of artistic expression. He has received choreography commissions from Ballet National du Rhin, Opéra National de Lorraine, Staatstheater Nürnberg, Gdańsk Dance Festival, The Yard, Kaserne Basel, Konzert Theater Bern, Zentrum Paul Klee and Art Basel. His work has been broadcast on television stations such as Arte and Mezzo and has been seen live by more than 300,000 audience members.
