// As artistic mobility and in situ work was/is impossible, the work was adapted to the online format of FAKI, and is currently an open Work in Progress.

Relational and participatory, this sound piece would allow the public to interact with text (dialogues, sentences) within an evolving sound environment, through any digital device connected to WIFI (smartphones, tablets).

Les mots de recours is a WiP, documentation of the WIFI devices (smartphones, tablets) in the artist’s near surroundings. To achieve this, the artist designed Sniffy - a digital instrument that composes polyphonies in real time from WIFI signals. It gives a unique sound identity to each phone, tablet or computer connected to WIFI in a nearby radius.

Some devices connected to WIFI came into a dialogue with each other, like characters in a play. Another part of the devices produce the sound environment that evolves during the performance: changes in sounds, scales, moods (suspense, calm, joy, nostalgia, etc.). The composition plays with the poetic potentialities generated by the random reading of sentences, verses, words. The writing of this textual base was inspired by several alchemical works (The Emerald Tablet, Atalanta Fugens).

The work (after its completion) will approach the notion of digital spirituality, sharing, doing together (in concert) between humans and digital entities.

HUGO BARANGER – Born in 1992 in Niort (France), I grew up in the heart of « Green Venice », in the Marais Poitevin. Its colors, the mist of winter and its varied landscapes where you can get lost without meeting human beings founded my iconography. Having been diagnosed late with poor vision combined with a strong astigmatism and hyperopia, at the age of 5 years, my eyes were forged by the blurring, vibration and focusing issues. My practice is a non-verbal, intimate language, shown through painting and given to hear by music. By a common vocabulary (tone, harmony, resonance, vibration, composition) I build spaces and times of relationships. These relationships can be a sharing of an experience, a memory, a feeling, a reflection, a look at the world, a dream. The notions of blurring and perception play (auditory and visual) are central elements of my work.
Through this language, I search (spiritual and formal) for understanding the world, like an alchemist apprentice.

// As artistic mobility and in situ work was/is impossible, the work was adapted to the online format of FAKI, and is currently an open-ended Work in Progress which will be created in real time during the festival.

For a number of days I live in a public space with a piano, a bed and some red light bulbs. I rest on the bed and I play the piano. I can also sleep in the performance space (or go to another place to sleep at night). I install a profile in a hookup apps stating: "I am a pianist, looking for someone to perform for, in exchange for your audio messages about open relationships, which I will broadcast during my performance." I remain in the performance space, collecting the audio messages and playing them back through the speakers, while I play a sort of "lounge piano" for extended periods of time. The performance carries a slight irony upon the commodification of love, as the pianist resembles a "hotel lobby pianist", at the same time opening for a dialogue about less-conventional relationships and the problems it encompasses. This is not an endurance performance, it's just a way of crossing art and life. (...)

The word "torture" often makes us think of Middle Age practices or punishment methods used in far-away countries. The truth is, however, we don't have to go that far to face it. The term "white torture" refers to those methods of torture whose signs are more difficult to detect but also cause psychological and physical damage to those who suffer from them. And its aim, as well as any other torture practice, is not just to punish, but also to teach the one suffering it a lesson: do as you're told to. Mass control through fear and pain.

It's not a secret that both psychologists and physicians have helped the prison system to develop strategies in order to domesticate the prisoners who don't follow their rules. By breaking their personalities and depriving them of themselves it's easier to gain control. One of these strategies is solitary confinement. Few people would mention it if they were asked to make a list of methods of torture, but isn't it torture to force a person to be completely isolated for 22 hours a day, not allowing him to talk to anyone, exposing him to police impunity? Isn't it torture to force someone to gradually and irreversibly lose her sight, to develop depression or anxiety or even commit suicide by forcing her to live in these conditions?

Tortura Blanca, deals with solitary confinement in prison. Through the testimonies of both prisoners and psychologists and turning the silks into an isolation cell, I try to make the audience aware of the living conditions of those people who end up neglected in a hole in an attempt of the system to get total control over them.


IRIA – After finishing my studies and kind of tired of sitting on the couch, I started training aerial acrobatics in 2011. At the beginning it was just for fun, but it turned out to be the starting point of much more than I expected.
After two summers on the road with the group Zirkrobajka, with whom I developed street as well as fire shows combining acrobatics and juggling, I decided to jump in the deep end and start developing solos on the aerials, focusing on rather subversive topics. The result of this decision was Mordaza (Gag), a show in which I talk about repression in Spain and which I performed in Germany, Spain, Ukraine, Slovenia and Mexico.
After that came Tortura Blanca, which is actually quite new.
I'm one of those aerialists who find typical aerial shows with pretty, slim girls or topless strong guys doing one trick after another terribly boring. The way I see it, art is much more than beauty: it can be a weapon. Let's use it.

“Bonds” is a wordless solo show by Marlena Niestrój, combination of theater, dance and performance art motifs with bondage aesthetics. The performance is a personal reflection on life entanglements and forces involved: existential and social as well as an unique strength of an individual experience – of empiricism, which tore every human life. The “Bonds” viewers together with the protagonist of the story take part in a metaphorical initiation journey. During the journey, as in life, extremes – seemingly opposing forces: pleasure and suffering, freedom and shackles, vitality and memento of death complement each other, and, literally, intertwine and entangle.

A Butoh performance - semi-choreographed, adapted to the space, time and the audience that accompanies it. Nihilism. Creation comes in a moment, inexplicably, for no reason. This performance deals with the essence of nothingness that is the mother of creation. To create we must empty ourselves, kill the ego, and allow creation to emerge from the sea of emptiness, led by examples of holy martyrs from various spiritual practices. A field of terrifying terror on a journey through the dark depths of the abyss, each martyr is rewarded in the end. And what if there is no end, but we are stuck in a whirlwind of constant terror? A great nothing at the beginning and the end. Holy Martyr represents an emanation of that creative nothingness, a grotesque journey, without condemnation, without judgement, resonating with emotion and the situation as is.

In a modified standing meditation posture, I stood in the middle of the Savska - Jukićeva streets crossroad. During our student days, for most of us, this intersection was like an energy-metaphysical center of the city. Alternative cultural centers such as AKC Medika and the Student Centre have been formed around this frequent crossing, and the last minute hangout options have almost been Medika or Krivi put. I acquired the skill of standing still (a crucial element of Eastern internal martial arts) through many years of taiji skills training. In this work I combine several ideas in parallel; I correlate my dantien with the dantien of the city, because the primary property of this meditation is healing - something Zagreb currently needs, because in addition to the global catastrophe of the pandemic, the city was hit by earthquakes, floods and poor political guidance. Most of cultural facilities are now fighting to survive, one of them being AKC Medika, a venue representing independent culture and in need of renovation to continue being a productive cultural centre. I build on my previous work "Šetač", performed at the Osijek Bus Station where I imitated the sculpture of the same name ("Šetač", August Cesarec, Stjepan Gračan), problematizing the constant issue of frequent migrations. One of the titles of my standing meditation performance is Standing On Stake and it stands for SOS; an anti-concept in which I have combined many dichotomies and tell the story by not telling it. I present one key to our survival in this situation through a unique technique and a free way of self-renewing energy and regulating stress. As the dichotomies of yin-yang, animus-anima, the energy-physical body in my video is juxtaposed to my other body simultaneously overlapped as a mirrored translucent silhouette. My Zen posture is immersed into the chaotic traffic at the main intersection of the metropolis, as the monotony of my pose to the timelapse of the sunset, so I compressed an hour of performance into a two-minute video.
I transformed myself into a living sculpture that neutralizes the traffic saturation of the metropolis and transforms a crossroad into a desert through a meditative experience.

The project is an open event, in which structures and actions of the performers are subjected to destruction and randomization. The project examines the dynamic relation between randomness and order, entropy and concentration of energy. It is a real time system, which encompasses movement of bodies, performative cycles of transmission/reception and programming through modulation of electric and magnetic energies and light, allowing for modification of the dynamics of space.

The performers and participants are forced to change identity and become a part of operational space in real time. Transformation and transmutation of performers' activity occurs through redefinition of visual-movement-space systems and logic-computational structures. The event destroys and dislocates representation [language, software], time [rhythm, performers' movement] and physical space [intensity of light and sound].

"The Sand Child" is a physical play by Anja Ostojić based on the novel of the same name by the Moroccan writer Tahar Ben Jelloun, nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature. The play is an art project created as a graduate exam production at the Academy of Arts in Split, at the Department of Theatre Arts, Acting direction.

The dramaturgically adapted text follows the deepest inner emotions and thoughts of a woman to whom fate has imposed the life of a man. The basic motive of the play is freedom and the path that a woman must go through in Islamic culture in order to be free. Using acting techniques and combining them with circus techniques - acrobatic silk, contortionism - Anja Ostojić shows the inner state of a character who throughout the play tries to get to know himself/herself and figure out who he/she really is?

As the book, this play deals with the position of women in Islamic culture, in critique of traditional Islam and Moroccan morals. "The Sand Child" is a play that talks about women's traditional gender role, human rights, and LGBTIQ rights.

'This rebirth and reverting an identity stolen - by a simple sentence "I am only a woman" at the end of the play - effectively merges all experiences, both personal and political, socially conditioned, into the person of a woman whose identity has been denied to since birth, and her managing to rebuild it after tearing herself out from her family.' (Kristina Tešija, gledam.org, 02/2019)

The play was co-produced by the Academy of Arts in Split and the internationally awarded contemporary circus collective ROOM 100. The play premiered in February 2019 at the Amphitheater of the Youth Center in Split, and was awarded as the best play by the audience at the 14th International Student Theatre Festival in Belgrade, May 2019.


ANJA OSTOJIĆ – (Otočac, 1995) graduated Drama at the Academy of Arts in Split under the mentorship of Bruna Bebić, Associate Professor of Art, in September 2019. In 2016, she completed her undergraduate studies (mentor Goran Golovko). Nowadays she is an expert associate on Stage Movement at UMAS, to Assistant Professor Elena Nikolajevna, and she previously worked as a demonstrator in the Stage Movement class by Professor Alen Čelić.

The heart is beating faster, breathing is flat, you start to sweat - Flight? The muscles are tensed up, the pupils are wide, you cannot see nor hear anymore - Fight? Swindle, tremble, breathlessness, nausea - freeze?

Nearly every sixth adult is suffering from a morbid fear. In the USA is Xanax, an anxiolytic, the most prescribed medicine among the psychotropic drugs. Psychiatrics and therapies are crowded with people, whose lives are extremely affected by fear. Constantly speeding images are raining down on us and turning the world into a threatening place, everything becomes faster and bigger, the way of the world deprives any kind of control, collective fears arise.

Freeze? The fear is paralysing whole societies, one is hiding, the other doesn't leave the house. Fight? From the fear comes the rage. Xenophobia, we against the others, me against you, we are going to build a wall! Flight? Working and consuming nonstop, TV, Internet, Alcohol. And then we wake up. Hangover. All the Dopamine is used and the fear overcomes us. Anxiety.

What does fear, the oldest of all the emotions, want from us? Is it just a relic that is useless for a modern individual? Is it rather a warning body signal to come to rest in times of fast pace and hectic? Maybe fear is a path that will lead us somewhere better and we should just follow it? Therefore yoga or a revolution?

After all fear is energy. It is the motor of collective history, as well as one’s individuality. It drives us; either into a professional success, extraordinary artworks, hatred of strangers, fights of freedom or dictatorships, into extreme personal achievements or the most imaginative avoidance strategies.

The approach to the topic in the form of a physical performance, in analogy to an image and text, allows a decontextualization of the theatrical. An image is an evidence. An image, a photograph, of a depicted scene can potentially be an evidence for a real incident in the eyes of the beholder, which in the context of the performance never could be. Photography represents the "other" as a distant glimpse of a temporary option. “The other” is something we don’t know and therefore often are afraid of. A picture may be disturbing, because it suggests the possibility that what is shown, is the pure reality. In the research process we will look at the issue of fear and its representation in the media (both in India and Germany) in the form of an image. We will try to construct scenes, including our own experiences formulated in text and sound, that could be seen as sections of reality. In a matter of fact the scenes will become reality just for the fleeing moment. We are interested in research and trying out different methods manifesting the topics that make us fear -and the physical expression of fear, inspired by the medium of image and text. These will be constructed as mise-en-scène in the consciousness of the viewer into temporary reality. The images should appall, and in that terribilitá lies a challenging kind of beauty.

Hardly any other comprehensive topic is so seldom discussed than our fear. It is still a taboo to say out loud “I am afraid.”. “Hangxiety” is about this ubiquitous emotion. The work researches via contemporary dance and martial arts the bodily experience, which is so primal, that it turns us into animals. Via text and image in “Hangxiety” we portray thoughts, which arise from fear - or let the fear arise. These will be constructed as mise-en-scène in the consciousness of the viewer into temporary reality. The images should appall, and in that terribilitá lies a challenging kind of beauty. We are not afraid to say we are afraid.

MARJE HIRVONEN and KELVIN KILONZO – Cologne-based artists. They have been working on various projects together. The both are active members of the Cologne dance-scene and well-known as artists. Hangxiety had a great reception in Cologne, and since then Kilonzo and Hirvonen are planning to expand their artistic collaboration.

The show is combining circus techniques on aerial hoop with sound improvisations to tell the story about specifics of human interaction. The show is relevant to the topic of control because it's about letting go of one's ego to achieve balance in professional, romantic or other types of relationships. It's also about our constant psychological struggle as human beings to have control over all aspects of our existence. This interaction and exchange of who controls whom in which moment is depicted using improvisation between two elements - a body and sound. Body is moving because of sound, and sound changes because of movement. They are alone in this universe, focused only on each other and reacting only to impulses of the other. In the broadest sense, the narrative can be described as an interaction between two characters starting as exchange of domination and submissiveness, growing into cooperation and coexistence in which one can't exist without the other.

Every movement of hoop and the body is illustrated or dictated by music which is being performed live. The soundscape of the show is also an improvisation of the sound signal distorted through guitar effects and oscillators.

DROP is an experimental physical theater performance created from the simplest possible ingredients: a body, made up of muscles and voice, and an audience. Movements, not words. Sounds, music, not words. The tools of the performer are reduced to the essence of human expression. The pure concreteness of the physical expression of the actress and the few props in the scene that she meets, find out the spirit of the world we live in.

The story of DROP is about a particular moment that one woman lives, and her view of love, breath and death, melting Klimt painting Medicine, and his philosophy that it’s no happy ending. It tells the story of a journey, that can happen from all over the world, and many different journeys at the same time: both physical and spiritual, through water, blood and gold.


BRADIPOTEATAR – uses a mixture between research and instinct. Our performances are oriented toward a theater of gesture and word: the movement and the text analysis departs from physical and vocal improvisations that formalize after a careful expressive search by the actors and the directing approach aims to integrate rigorous study, feelings and passion. Our preferred interpretative key is the grotesque one, that allows us to move from the comic to the dramatic following the complexity of the different points of view. Bradipoteatar performed in San Marino, all over Italy, Croatia (FAKI 2008), Greece, Armenia, Poland, Serbia, Turkey
