Garaža Kamba

Tapping, scraping, voice, and breath in light, in darkness. Rubber wheels. Rubber, a solid elastic substance obtained by the vulcanization of natural and synthetic rubbers; a rubber tire, the one that gets my hands dirty when it cracks on the freeway away from home; what I always need but never think about. Tired out is a visual and physical participatory act by Israeli artist Darya Efrat, which questions the spontaneous moment of interaction, construction and deconstruction in creating a visual landscape and a point of reflection for performance observers/participants, combining movement, dance, and circus in a dialogue between a woman and a tire. The performance is a part of a residency in Zagreb focused on collecting, developing, processing and sharing the research process that Efrat has collected over the past year.

Jelena Petric’s multi-temperature performance p.up-k is built around the season of Winter and the holidays embedded in it and characterize it, using a wide range of matter, light-colored by electric bulbs, as well as fire and liquid, iron, smoke and glass light, all composed to pour the warmth of the holiday spirit upon visitors. That is why this light will not only be consumed by the eyes of the audience but also by their taste buds, and in the midst of the blazing light doors, food will fall from the sky accompanied by the sound of cosmic sprinklers. Jelena uses solids and liquids, crunchy and hard, popcorn and rakija as something consumed on multiple levels, a burst of corn kernels is an addition to a blockbuster, mana from the sky, fireworks, a big bang, a Star of Bethlehem leading the way. But the performance also looks back at Christmas itself and the cultural threads we twist around it, the cosmic aspect in which something is born, emerges from the fire, light, and burst, and the other, consumerist, in which the spectacle is of utmost importance, where the world shines. , sparkles and crackles as we watch from the side eating popcorn.
