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. 

Started with...

 

David dancing in nature (a part where nature is reclaiming the city)

continued with a stroll through another part where nature is reclaiming the city and a bit of a talk on invasive species

and ended in a gallery reclaimed by a mono-play.

Mapping the city

the main entertainment were two dogs. But there was a lot of things happening I was told. 

 

The birthday girl

 

did a little dance for us (and so did most of her family - but hey, it was her party so she gets the photo).

Stories about neighbours

 with some music

and a quick visit to Equrna to see Meta Krašovec's exhibition. 

Revisiting stuff

 

Arhivox after a long time

and we waited for Martina Abramović, again to no avail. 

1st day of the Soteska 2025 festival

 

46% performance, 32% concert, 22% drinking game. 

To our delight

 We build our lives, just so others can tear it down. I cannot truly describe the change in my mood when I suddenly realised where all this is leading to and linked it to the current situation (mind you, there is always a situation like this somewhere in the world)

Nira

 a futuristic performance. 

Double bill (of choirs)

 

The main choir of the evening (Voice Movers)

and their special guests on the evening (Bee Geesus)

Unfinished symphony

 for movement. 

Garden

still in the development process. 

Powered by Emotion

The title made me think it would be an emotionally charged performance, but the true emotion from the title followed during the discussion after the performance. 

 

Unharmed

Tejka Pezdirc's opening at Hupa Brajdič.

 

Sleepwalkers

 

a children's play.

Martina Abramović: The artist isn't present

 but the cat woman was. 

Juno Nau

 playing at the closing of the Evo ti pa gledaj exhibition. 

Tuning into Choreographic Turn 10

 It has started :)

Stay tuned. 

Mapping the city

Today's team. 

 

The 6th evening of dance films

in Kinoteka ended with a discussion with some of the artists.
