babes
by gergő d. farkas (Hungary/Sweden)
11:00 – Kulturni Center Lojze Bratuž
Through a set of fantastic organs, 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘴 introduces a sensuous world that doesn’t stop at the body’s borders. These organs don’t have vital functions: their byproducts are dances, sounds, objects and poems –a gathering of lovers in lust for touch.
babes cultivates a space where fantasy does matter, matter does fantasy, and where sensual experiences are one’s primary way of staying in touch with the world. 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘴 is the prelude to farkas’ first evening-length grouppiece mama and the first work created through 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯-𝘪𝘯𝘨, a choreographic research which queers the body by weaving together fantasy with its physically felt sense.
