i edited translation a little................Lastweekend, Sarajevo was the host of unusual experimental performances. At the Eiffel Bridge in
late afternoon / early evening hours, a group of
artists have, through movement, music and dance,
interpreted the theme of return - some of their
personal experiences in relation to return to home, to
beloved city and old friends (in some cases, after
some major changes in life or major trauma), and the
emotions evoked by such memories.
Although the theme of the 'return' is inevitably tied
to the past and negative memories, this performance
focused on the positive, energetic, on releasing
repressed emotions and of course (since it was in a
public place) on communication / interaction with the
audience. Musicians made sounds on various improvised
"instruments" and artists were given full freedom of
movement, and some have even climbed on top of the
steel arches to dance on them. The reactions of
observers were varied - from curiosity through
skepticism and wonder, to the point that some briefly
joined in playing the "game" of the performers.
The second part of the performance included the
'connecting' of the spring of river Bosna with the
city center by a thin white thread. Two groups of
performers have started each from their own side of
town and walked towards each other while laying the
thread on the ground (the walk down the former 'sniper
alley' lasted more than 5 hours), met half way and
symbolically tied the two ends of the thread together.
The performance included American artists (members of
Mobius artists group) Jane Wang, Grant Smith, Cathy
Nolan VINČEVIĆ and Nathan Andary, English / Polish
dancer Victoria Bartz, then Elma Selman, Lejla Muhić,
Azra Ibrahimović and Lea Jerlagić...
