just arrived

Deutsche Version

„frisch eingetroffen“ (engl. „just arrived“) – Young International Performance Art is the platform for young and current performing art-positions far from the mainstream. The two-day festival at the Mannheim zeitraumexit shows performance, live-art, contemporary dance as well as crossing- and in-between positions of certain genres and media. A special curatorial interest lays in innovation and originality: artistic positions exploring new formats and aesthetics, which are experimental and do not mind a certain risk.

This year, five productions from Sweden, Serbia and Switzerland will take part at the festival. The topics of the fresh talents include reflections about the identity and physicality of the own body, researches about the relationship between gesture and word, body and language, emotions and intellect as well as reflecting on stereotypes about contemporary (performance) art and artists.

STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER | Ana Dubljevic, Milan Markovic (RS) | Performance Installation
The Performance Installation “Strawberry Fields Forever” of Ana Dubljevic and Milan Markovic is a journey to the world of the “monsters” – those “monsters” that live on the fringes of the society, that seem to be all the same: illegal, out of a contact zone, just here to work- secretly. A piece about black economy and an examination of humanity.
Konzept, Performance, Setting: Ana Dubljević, Milan Markowic.
