Festival of peace

 

What do we want?

PEACE! 

When do we want it? 

ALL THE TIME!

Gogol Bordello

For a change I went to a concert in Zagreb. Both bands played Ljubljana the night before, but got invited to the concert and to hang out a bit by a couple of my friends in Zagreb, so hey, why not? This was the warm up band, The Split Dogs (who are not from Split but from Bristol).

They were followed by the main, exceptionally energetic Gogol Bordello, who even managed to keep Tim at the concert to the very end, even though he was not otherwise that impressed by them. "Their energy kept me there, even though I decided I would go home after each song."

Three moons are looking at our world

and we are watching them.

Autumn is comming

 

Suddenly it was cold, the rain was bucketing down, but we had an improvised roof, a DJ

live music from Tisa and Mojca

and a soundscape from Colin Black.

Life Refabricated - the long edition

 

They were entertaining us for 6 hours straight, three days in a row, and the energy was there. 

African day on Krk

We had live music,

people dancing,

and smiling.

Cypress trees

 

Went to a poetry evening where I listen to some poetry by Petra Koršič and listened to some live music by Lado Jakša, who also made the multi-vision show, which made the place so dark I couldn't take any really good pictures, so this is what you get today.  

The Intimacy of Otherness

 

a very personal performance. 

Another day of 4Ukrep

 

Started off in Prulček with the dance performance Vulneri,

continued with a short series of short dance films and a short discussion afterwards. 

 and ended with an outdoor performance (Verpete), which mainly took place in the dark

(but did you notice a similarity with the first performance?)

Tango night

 

with

smiling

people

professional dancers

and live music

Zinada: HUABUN

 

at the 4Ukrep festival. 

4Ukrep festival continues

with a performance for children

and a late night outdoors show, with a bit of technology involved.  

 

Back to dance

 

Hanging around in Choreographic turn.

Followed by the evening show - Shifts - at the 4Ukrep Festival.

KO10 Group practice #2: Morning meditation and deep listening

 I had a succession of good mornings, I am sure this is not the last one ;) 

Meta

from Portugal announced the slowly approaching autumn. 

Another one

 

in the Martina Abramović series. 

Everybody deserves a good life

 

Nobody should go hungry.

Nobody should be bombed.

Nobody should be trapped.

Nobody should loose their home.

Nobody should be withheld medicine.

Everybody deserves peace. 

Everybody should try their best to make life on this world better for all. 

------

Remember every person is just like you and me

they have their desires

they have their loved ones

they have their life plans

they have their needs

they have their fears 

without the need for others to add more. 

Ajda Zupan

 

The artist and her work.

Her friend played a few songs at the opening.   

Mimika Orchestra

 

Doing their jazzy - world music - local stuff on Krk. 

Ether

 

Another concert at the top of our street on Krk. 

Ana Desetnica

It is always nice when the performers get the audience involved. 

And the second show was not so inclusive, but we had fun, regardless of the siege. 

 

100!!!!!

 years old. Happy birthday nan!

The Adriatic festival

 

a hundred miles from the sea. But this day it was all about Nejc and his new book. 

but I did also take a few portraits of the band members. 

Suddenly

 

I am on stage and in focus of the others. That's just what happens in the city.

Dance, attention to details

 First an early morning "No Kings" protest dance in front of the USA Embassy.

and then I went with a bunch of dancers to hell for a dance, quick dip under the waterfall and a small picnic. 

A quick jump to my local park

 to see a concert in the forest. First Katja Šulc (I thought I would miss her, but I managed to catch a few songs, restless as I was)

Followed by Širom, who managed to calm my restless mind for a while).

Untitled (Most words are baned in tyranny)

 

but luckily people always find a way to express themselves.
