Instead of the directors intrudoction:
CITY
Currents, lengths, distances
Streets, wheels, windows
Lights
Passing
trough me
Steps
Paths, flows, echoes
... and us in the city.
Belonging to ourselves, rushing
Alone
We don’t see, don’t arrive
Don’t encounter
Quiet behind the barriers, in silence
We pass, do not stop
Do not give, do not offer
We just drip
Dina Radoman
About the play:
The dance play City was created after a number of activities that helped us explore how we perceive city space. Our impressions where in some ways similar but in some where different because the city is not only the sum of those who live in it but it has his own will, character, atmosphere, face and underground. It is well-intentioned for some bur not so welcoming for others. It all depends on where you are coming from, what part you live in, what age are you, what are your habits and wishes. This difference also exists on the stage because the performers differ in gender, background, attitude toward life, life experience, possibilities and limits they have, the way the approach art, the education they have, are they a person with disability... The city they live in is what they have in common.
We hope that this play will be contribution to the intentions for inclusion people with disability in the work of professional theatres and that the shows they perform in will become part of regular repertoire in Belgrade. Performers with disability we selected during workshops that where organized by association Silver Tree with the help of the group "Let's".
