Small Theatre "Dusko Radovic"

Korak blizeThe play is about an encounter of various cultures in the "neutral" ground, on the unexplored isle of Belgrade and about search for common and separate "languages" to express the common creation, a unique play as a whole. The languages of encounter will be different languages of cultural environments and dance experiences and styles that participants bring with them.

The starting point was that which connects us: an individual experience on foreign ground, surrounded by other individuals far from their homes and their languages, assembled around the same aim. (In this case those were the experiences of the DANCEWEB programme scholarship beneficiaries). We assumed we would meet again in Belgrade as if on the island: for external participants that island is unknown, but there are hosts on the island whom they met and who will become their "guides", "interpreters", "managers of time". These hosts will be responsible for what would be presented to the guests and for what the guests would be able to get acquainted with. On the other hand, the hosts become recipients and succumb to the influence of various forthcoming streams. In a formal sense, the play has a multimedia character (the majority of participants, though being dancers and choreographers have vast experience working in various elements of the play, many of them received training in the field of video, costumes, light design, stage adaptation, music).

During the production of the play (and also in the progress of the play, on the stage) various video materials are being used that were brought by participants (as finalised products based on the dramatic needs of the structure defined in the email workshop), but also created while working on the play. Some elements of the scenography (space) and costumes are products of the participants' cooperation to a large extent.
