Eva Schmechtig (AT): And what remains
"This year felt like being awake during surgery." – unknown, 2025
The performance originates from the unsettling experience of sleep paralysis—a liminal state where dream and reality dissolve into one another. Through choreography, sound, and the use of materials, a fragile landscape unfolds where resistance and surrender coexist as perception is constantly reshaped.
Sound Design & Live Music: Georg Haider
Choreography, Dance & Visual Design: Eva Schmechtig
Duration: 20 min.
Anđela Bugarija (HR) & Kristina Lisica (HR): Encounter with oneself
The body is a meeting point—a permeable membrane where experiences and memories accumulate. Accompanied by a photography exhibition by Antonio Stipinović, the performance explores how we can return to our own bodies from the world of mental noise and false self-images. Let us become witnesses to our thoughts and guardians of our bodies.

Performer: Kristina Lisica
Intro Dance Film, Projection & Trailer: Matija Lukman
Music: Predrag Ćosić
Accompanying Photography Exhibition: Antonio Stipinović
