Urša Rupnik: Re/Invented(Iz/najdena)

A continuation of Urša Rupnik's body of work and the second part of the project Historicizing Slovenian Contemporary Dance.

Cankarjev dom Theatre and Dance Urša Rupnik: Re/Invented(Iz/najdena)

Iz/najdena (Re/Invented) takes an in-depth look at a dance piece by Živa Kraigher, Ballade No. 1 in G minor (1989), her last work marked by a highly intricate and stylized choreography. The Ballade’s dramaturgy is driven by an intense inner development with crescendos and diminuendos, the ups and downs that tellingly reveal traces of Živa Kraigher’s experience of the world and her turbulent lifestyle at that time. In addition to recontextualizing the dance-stylistic concept and thematic idea of the dance piece, the project also delves into the intimate stories revolving around this great artist and dedicated dance pedagogue. These stories continue to remain alive today; most notably through dance, when seeking to create a balance between Živa’s motto “And now once again for the sake of art!”, and the Ballade’s concluding exclamation, the daring cry:

“No! – Here I am, just the way I want to be!”

(Kraigher, 2016, 325).
