Tina Valentan & Luka Martin Škof: Working title, Paviljon/Park
The performance Working Title will be made in the frame of the Modul Dance project, with a premiere in Maribor in September. During the festival NagiB our associational process that took place so far will be moulded into an ambiguous creature, moving between a performer, social robot, and a consciousness altering medium. We are standing at a crossroads – on the one hand, man is stepping into the virtual world, on the other going to the nature. In both cases, man is stepping outside her/himself, for s/he has to move somewhere. Is there the right way, or is it all the same which path is taken? The process of watching our work shall redefine what is natural, what is alive, and what dead.
