CoFestival – The Art of Co-Living
International Festival of Contemporary Dance
27 Nov – 6 Dec 2015, Ljubljana
In the performance Empty Voice (Prazan glas) performers with learning disabilities present themselves directly by telling their personal stories, recalling their memories, sharing their intimate confessions and statements of their own disability. They present their condition as a social construction and invite us toward a necessary reconsideration of the possibility to form different social relations.
The scenes in this performance are conceived with the aim to establish a new level of communication, both through the first person speech of the performers with learning disabilities and through their mutual conversation and discussion with the audience.
Per.Art is an independent organization active in the field of contemporary performing arts in Serbia. Since 1999, their “Art and Inclusion” programme has been integrating people with learning disabilities, artists, special educators, culture professionals, architects and students. The main aim of the “Art and Inclusion” programme is the production of artistic projects in which people with learning disabilities take an active role as authors, co-authors and performers, and the promotion of their work on an equal basis with the local and international contemporary performing arts scene.
