Spider festival 2024

Welcome to Spider Festival 2023, a Dance study of the digital space as a field of resistance to the hegemonic contemporary choreography interfaces. We invite you to tilt in and out and encounter empty frames filled with organic materials. Welcome to the place of opacity, inhalation, and reflection. Bring all the data and expectations, and let all thought be metabolized by idiosyncratic dancers who feel their way through the world imaginatively and artfully.

SPENDING TIME DANCING: the Movements of Aphrodite

This is a story about oscillations between certainty and indeterminacy. Rejecting the traditional relationship between Dance and Choreography means attentively following the myth of Aphrodite’s birth. Born from foam, Aphrodite evokes images of irregular rhythmic patterns, the spectacle of movement over movement, and the voyage from one pattern to another. Will the cut between one and the other always mean the end of repetition, a kind of end of reproduction? How will we handle this change? Will we?

The dance piece 303 draws its title from the analogue synthesizer Roland TB-303 which was highly popular in the past decades but was later replaced with digital machines.

They compost.

LS DIGITAL

Matej Kejžar is arriving with the continuation of his complex project Language Sausage (LS) and presents us with a solo dance piece LS-Digital. He confronts the digital and the bodily. The digitalist paradigm is not something he takes for granted or dismisses easily. On the contrary, he calls for an contemplational and artistic immersion into the core of this topic.

LANGUAGESAUSAGE-LANGUAGESAUSAGE-LANgUAGESAUSEGE (LSLSLS)

Matej Kejžar, who in recent years has been shaping his notion of an emancipated form of dance is continuing to do so in LSLSLS.

It reveals the conditions for the necessary change. It is an open window that may render visible the infinite processes of tension.
