Cannibals

These are the cannibals that seem to be such a threat to the new PM-to-be.

While we are here, can we just contemplate the following for a second: The new PM-to-be publicly defines citizens who disagree with him as Cannibals. I don't know about you, but I think this world has gone way too far in the wrong direction, if people in leading positions in the country think it is OK to say such things and for people like me to be insulted like this.

Repast

 a dance performance choreographed by Milan Tomašik.


P.s. There were parts of the performance where I was actually thinking this is how I feel when I think about the world today:

It was snowing today

so we went driving in the snow to Kranj to see a couple of exhibitions. First we walked through Doroteja Dolinšek's exhibition in Stolp Škrlovec

and then we went to see Radharani Pernačič's exhibition in Layerjeva hiša, which was the one we originally planed to visit .

Punk Choir

or, to call them by their name, ZTZ Ruđer Boškovič - a very entertaining performance.
And before we left a Russian activist came to remind us that:

International Mother Language Day (also known as my father's birthday - Happy Birthday!)

so I went to listen to some people read their writings (mainly poetry) in their mother languages. As there were too many to chose a photo for the blog I went for a photo of the singer of the band that played in between.

Tori Story

met new people at this edition of the Couch Festival. It is a lovely idea for people to open up their homes to musicians and total strangers who want to come and listen to them. 

Wednesday 12 February 2020

This year's Couch Festival started (for me) with

 Juan Zuleta & Danaja Koren on the sofas in Kucha

 followed by an early evening session by Hannah James and Toby Kuhn in Apotheka

 and the evening was brought to an end by Blueharp Robert

and Josip Broz Trio in Žmauc.

Slovene day of culture

First I met a good friend of mine and we went to visit a few artist studios in Švicerija (surprisingly I didn't take any photos there), then I went back home to do some work (the work of a freelance cultural worker is never done) and in the evening I went to see a few short dance films as chosen by my Friend 'Mračni' which was followed by a short discussion. After this I went to the annual bake off and sing along of the female choir Kombinat, but as I was late, I missed the choir and the food, but I caught the surprise band of the evening (a trio which included an accordionist).

Ment day 2

my evening started off with Melidah, who was playing a box which read her movements and this influenced the music and the video projection - a  bit like a theremin, but on steroids (I guess there is a lot of programming behind it)

 followed by the always entertaining Alicia Edelweis, this time with a band

and Amorante, who many of us unfortunately left in the middle of the performance as we headed for another concert (honestly it had nothing to do that with the autotuner you used in the song just before we left...)

... of course, by the time I reached the band I left Amorante for, it was so crowded I did not make it to the front to take a photo, so after a while we went to see Čao Portorož

and then I strolled cross the courtyard to finish off my evening with Rush to Relax.
