Never ALLone

by Matea Bilosnić (Croatia)
15:00 – SNG – Nova Gorica

What came before me? What remains after the performance? What will remain after I am gone?

A choreographic journey or a scenic shipwreck, Never ALLone represents a symbolic collision between fragile humanity and inorganic machinery. Through exploratory yet humorous melancholy, Matea Bilosnić builds a hybrid environment in which she questions personal trauma, proposes philosophical landscapes, experiments with shipwreck imagery and communicates with a machine entity. In the seven-chapter choreography she reshapes her past and re-examines our collective future.
