The performance my own private* by Petja Golec Horvat and Bor Prokofjev’s solo Equilibrium are presented as a double-bill. This pairing is deliberate, acknowledging that both artists are at the nascent stages of their journeys, yet their choreographic approaches and effects are remarkably diverse. Both works showcase remarkably intricate choreographic languages.<\/p>\n
my own private* operates through atmospheres and a melancholic rhythm of existential expanses, unfolding as a distinctly cinematic intertwining of intimate and layered landscape scenes. Narrative indices are embedded within these images through their material textures, meeting the somatic qualities of movements and bodies at a profound level. Petja Golec Horvat’s performance my own private*, delivers a mature and complex choreographic language, where cinematic, photographic, architectural and bodily media interweave seamlessly to create a vast, expansive time: a choreographic landscape that is expansive enough to inhabit it with her sensorial, personal reflections. Her choreographic landscape maintains the material properties of the body and visual images yet seamlessly transitions into cinematic montage. In this realm, bodily and spatial concretions are endowed with temporal properties that extend beyond their material present. In this way, her melancholic Weltschmerz is suddenly accessible to us, because it transcends to the level of concept and surpasses private matters. We are confronted by a work that is open to our gaze, and we can inhabit it. The diversification of the choreographic field through varied and artistically suggestive dance writing has consistently been a programmatic aim of CoFestival, with the aim of expanding the spectrum of choreological approaches in the local space. When a work like Petja Golec Horvat’s my own private* appears, we understand it as a celebration of the local contemporary dance scene.<\/p>\n
