18.30 - Cassandra - Skaraventer Project (ITA) for SubScena Residency, Filmski studio, 45’ Book a seat
Skaravanter Project (ITA) – CASSANDRA is "a performance that wants to investigate a mystery. In the middle of the space there is a table. On the table there is a deck of tarot cards. A person chooses a card, and asks a question within himself. The performer observes the card and gives the person an answer, transforming the symbols of the card into a choreography for body and voice: a unique, unrepeatable and human-specific theatrical act."
A performance by Lucia Falco and Cordelia Stagno

19.30 - I'M NOT A ROBOT - Luan Machado (BRA/ITA), Outside Stage, 25’ Book a seat
Luan Machado / Paris Blues (ITA/BRA) – ‘I'M NOT A ROBOT’ is “a lip-sync operetta from the butoh-queer universe. A contemporary remix of the noises of technology shot from dating apps, pop music, the performer's authoritative voice in electronic beats coming from the dance floor where voguing, glamor-trash, the exacerbation of symbols inhabiting the POSE aesthetic. The colorful flag that defends the different, the body violated by the prejudices of society is printed in words and gestures on the scene.”
19.30 - 21.00 - Dispatch - Daria Kaufman (USA) - Whatsapp/Signal Book a seat
Daria Kaufman (USA) – Dispatch is “a letter to the pleasures and cruelties of live performance, delivered via one-to-one phone call by author/performer Daria Kaufman, to whomever else is on the line.

Kapil Paharia (IND) – in ‘Guaranty? no guaranty’, “Everyone has the right of getting food, but only some get the food and some didn’t get food, and some get more than needed so they waste the food, while on the other side some die of hunger, starvation and malnutrition.
What is the guaranty of getting food and provide food?
Guaranty?
No guaranty.”
Alt-Sex 異．性 - 江峰 Jiang Feng (TWN) - 15’
江峰 Jiang Feng (TWN) – ‘Alt-Sex 異．性’ is “a performance work created out of the somatic practice “Sex and Love”, intended to help people rethink sex and elicit sexual/erotic energy, sensual attention, and love affects through movements and body awareness. The practice and the performance work explore the deconstruction of the narrow idea of sex, codified bodies, and repertoires of sex. Sex is not a performance of prowess or position-changing but a dialogue and a way of living and experiencing.”

Petra Peček, Alja Lacković, and Manca Trampuš (SLO) – In ‘Clearance’ "We are deeply interested in that which at first glance makes no sense. Playing with personal stories that form a collage of relationships and emotions leads us to absurd situations. Isn't the constant return to already-known and established situations ridiculous? Nonsensical? Absurd? Beautiful? This process got us through uncertain times by creating a safe space full of support, care, lightness, and optimism that we wish to pass on."

. Both of them go through/witness the ‘sinkhole’ incident: Lego falls into a sinkhole, while the author tries to write a story about it. On one hand, the Lego criticizes the author as an opportunist, on the other hand, the author wants to show people the world they see.”

Performing nothing - Katya Volkova - (RUS) - 20’ - Work-in-Progress
Katya Volkova (RUS) – in ‘Performing nothing’, “we all see how many people suffer from socio-political causes around the world. And in many societies, they are initially doomed. But what if we go beyond the framework imposed on capitalist and political relations, which is beneficial to their interrelations, and take into account the legitimacy of various human manifestations?”

Self Help - mignolo dance (USA) - 20’ - Work-in-Progress
mignolo dance (USA) – ‘Self Help’, choreographed by Charly & Eriel Santagado, “explores mental health through the lens of a relationship between psychologist and patient using Movenglish® – a movement language in progress that directly corresponds to English. The direct translation of spoken conversations is complemented by fragmented and deconstructed phrases that represent what happens between the lines and inside the mind, embodying a ceaseless yet hopeful striving toward balance between thought and feeling, mind and body, self and other.”
17.30 - Les mots de recours - Hugo Baranger (FR) – Institut français de Croatie, Zagreb, 25’ - Work-in-Progress Event link
Hugo Baranger (FRA) – ‘Les mots de recours’ is “a WiP, a relational and participatory sound piece. It allows devices connected to WIFI to dialogue (in real time) like a wise and their pupil. Other devices produce the sound atmosphere that evolves during the performance: changes of environments, moods (suspense, calm, joy, nostalgia, etc.). The composition plays with the poetic potentialities generated by the random reading of sentences and words.
It approaches the notion of digital spirituality, sharing, doing together (in concert) between humans and digital entities. "
With the support of Institut français de Croatie.

ESCAPE - Apeiron Theatre (LIT) - 30’
Apeiron theatre (LIT) – ‘ESCAPE’ is “characterized by exceptionally personal, self-ironic content, provoking unexpected feelings, revealing the negative sides of reality. The artistic expression of the film deliberately uses ironic, cliché, flat images, editing disturbances. It's like an ironic provocation to "good" art.”

The Suit - Ori Lenkinski (ISR) - 26’
Ori Lenkinski (ISR) – in ‘The Suit’, “On Valentine's Day, 1962, Jackie Kennedy invited television cameras into the White House to what would become an iconic tour of the extensive renovation she championed. In doing so, she reshaped the world's image of the First Lady and of ladies altogether. In 2021, armed with a pink suit (not a Chanel), Ori Lenkinski summons Kennedy's energy to take the audience on a tour of memory, fantasy and a slightly brighter version of reality.”

Anajara Laisa Amarante (GER/BRA) – ‘Freaks’ is “a homage to an artist friend who passed away and to a hobo artist that I met in the streets of Greece, literally burning and being saved with water by my partner. It’s about being lost, wondering, searching and – most of all – existing, without a purpose, in a world full of sold goals as – for instance – being happy, rich and famous.”

Practices of contact and improvisation with the founding elements (earth fire air water and eter), to collectivize the action. apparition by arrow forest is staged as l3n1r4 user-entity in hybridity in the mooring of the presence and absence of the body that flees, fights and celebrates. throughout 2021, i accumulate microaparitions in different scrubland around the globe, certain that not everything will be translated.

"I am not wild" - Em Zuckerman (USA/FRA) - 20’
Em Zuckerman (USA/FR) – "I am not wild" “ plunges its feet deep in the mysteries of the forest, a place at odds with the spatial manipulation and regulation of human forces. Between swift strides and clunky stumbles, we trace our path through the woods, not knowing who makes what decision, and what amount of misdirection is necessary to find the way.”

18.00 Bona Dea - Marje Hirvonen Company (GER/FI), Klub Attack, 60’ Book a seat
Marje Hirvonen Company (GER/FIN) – ‘Bona Dea’ is “a utopian, resisting body that transcends its (conventional) boundaries in terms of biology, social codes, sexuality, behaviour, ethnicity, culture, etc. A body that is queer in the broadest sense: peculiar, unconventional. A body that is free from the structures of power.” "I am a living protest. There is no category for me; I offend simply with my bare presence.”

Almost Touching the Stars - compagnie évohé (FRA) - 20’ - Work-in-Progress
compagnie évohé (FRA) – If theatre is something magical, maybe it is a place where, even better than elsewhere, we can listen to what we cannot see. It’s there, where the invisible is breathing and transpiring, where we are ritualizing the essential, where the big questions of childhood - of existence, and all that is beyond and above - can be asked. It’s the place where we wake up the revolt.
Out of resonance with The little Prince by Saint-Exupéry, "almost touching the stars" (“Toutes les étoiles sont des puits”) is a delicate performance, a ritual, an invitation to feel some of the invisible parts, as much discreet and subtle as essential. Beyond our wounds, beyond the forces trying to reduce the possibilities of our existences, we would like to celebrate magic, the mysteries of life, when it’s urging us to perceive differently.

Teatar CIRKUS Punkt (HRV) – ‘Generacija X Y Z’ “deals with the topic of intergenerational solidarity. Through three different generational periods, we observe three teenage girls moving through parkour, physical theater and acrobatics in the same space - on a climber that is reminiscent of children's climbers in the park. Girls have the same problems of growing up, they just deal with them in different ways, depending on the period in which they grow up (80s, 90s or 00s). The play includes acting, physical theater, dance, parkour, acrobatics and thus this play is unique for all ages.”

17.30 - Gdje je nestao Željko? ( Where did Zeljko go?) - Nives Tušak + Aristaios Tsousis (HRV/GRE), Filmski studio, 30’ Book a seat
Nives Tušak and Aristaios Tsousis (HRV/GRC) - U "Gdje je nestao Željko?"-u, lutka je ljepša u kontrastu s nečim živim, u kontrastu s čovjekom. Isto tako lutka je čovjeku drugo, hrabrije mu ja. Lutka nije samo predodžba čovjeku, ona objašnjava njegovu situaciju, oblikuje njegovu povezanost sa svijetom.
____________________
Nives Tušak and Aristaios Tsousis (HRV/GRC) - In "Where did Zeljko go?", “a doll is more beautiful in contrast with a living being - with a human. Likewise, a doll is different to a human: very often the human's other, braver self. The doll is not just an image of someone. It explains their situation, shapes their connection to the world.”

Me, My non-Self and I - Rima Pipoyan and and Vladislav Bondar (ARM/UKR) - 30’ - Work-in-Progress
Rima Pipoyan and Vladislav Bondar (ARM/UKR) – in ‘Me, My non-Self and I’, “What will happen if you possess someone out of revenge, and make him the test object of your cruel thoughts? By doing so, can you make him yours and force him to do whatever you want? Maybe in the end you will find yourself addicted to the person you believed to be yours. You may even realize that you are dependent on those you thought you tamed.”
...de profundis - Marco Nektan (SRB) - 30’
Marco Nektan (SRB) – ‘...de profundis’ “stems from the universal need to get out of this global situation, which is reminiscent of a dark, cold and damp tunnel of an abyss, and there is still no way out. I find the greatest inspiration in the story of the ancient goddess Persephone, who is forcibly abducted by her mother, then taken to the depths of Tartarus, where against her will she marries the lord of the underworld. In the end, a compromise is found to spend 6 months on earth with his mother, 6 months in the underworld. That agreement was created between Hades and Demeter – but no one asked Persephone.”
Dijana Karanović is a researcher, writer, and interdisciplinary artist from Serbia, based in St. Petersburg, Russia. She graduated Dramaturgy from Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, Russian State Institute of Performing Arts (MA), and Multimedia Technologies from ITMO (MA). Her main interests are documentary and immersive theatre forms. She is fascinated by the idea of togetherness and contemporary ritual in art and her work is focused on researching topics like personal identity, violence, and social injustice. The thing that inspires her the most is the absurd aspect of everyday life. She is an author of scenarios, theatre plays, articles, and performances.
Liam Rees is a theatre-maker, dramaturg, and theatre critic working between the UK, Belgium, and Germany. His interests are multilingual and intercultural with a focus on the (im)possibility of translation. He investigates the form and shape of the stories we tell ourselves with the intent to better understand and deconstruct the narratives that create the status quo. He is excited by work that can’t be put into words and during FAKI Festival he hopes to bridge the gap between theatre and dance, perhaps finding a common creative language.
