THE SECOND SOLO FESTIVAL IS OVER
The second edition of the Solo Festival organized by the Belgrade Dance Institute for three days was presented to the Belgrade and Novi Sad audience at the National Museum of Serbia, the Cultural Station Barka in Novi Sad, and the closing ceremony was held last night on May 29th at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade, and the pavilion of the Cultural Center of Belgrade on Floral square.
The works of artists from Belgium, France, Austria, Hungary and Serbia were presented, which were performed in the form of solo choreography and performance. The selected works represent contemporary research by artists who, with their strong expression, presented to the audience their most intimate reflections on the world in which they live and work, using the body as the main bearer of meaning in one of the most demanding performing arts disciplines – solo performance.
In their works, artists re-examine the contemporary moment of life, the position of women artists in society, the impact of social networks on the individual, their fears, sufferings, helplessness caused by the social system.
With an interdisciplinary approach, interactive performances, these works ask questions and activate the audience.
The works of Barbara Matijević and Giussepe Chico from France and Cassiel Gaube from Belgium were presented at the National Museum of Serbia on Friday. The second day was held at the Cultural Station Barka in Novi Sad, where the dance company Pablo and Guy from Austria was presented. Last night, the audience had the opportunity to see solo works by Rita Gobi from Hungary and Guilhem Chatir from Belgium at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade.
The last performance was performed by Serbian artist Joana Knežević in the pavilion of the Cultural Center of Belgrade on Floral square called Not Your Barbie.
