Wednesday, July 29th 2020 at 9 p.m. -> warmly invited to Cirkulacija 2 | Ajdovščina underpass on ecstatic performance / social commentary of body and movement.

Tatiana Kocmur and Liza Šimenc – MARY JANE

A performance as a living sculpture – that gradually disintegrates. Over-saturated costumes emphasize the body – surrounded by all social norms of ideal appearance – the objectification of the body codified as a source of pleasure – in the way of voyeurism, fetishism, idealization and identification.

Mary Jane

Represents the coexistence of two bodies.

Interweaves colorful objects into an abstract mass.

Depicts a distorted image of imposed ideals.

Addresses issues related to the social perception of the female body.

Promotes the uniqueness of an individual’s appearance.

Reflects the sincere wearing of the beauty of an authentic body.

Liza Šimenc and Tatiana Kocmur have been creating together under the name Kresnička since 2017.
Participants: Red Button – experimental multimedia laboratory (Marko Bojičić), Ivana Kocmur, Martina Kocmur.

This is the second repetition of the performance, which was presented for the first time at the Grda Račka Festival, CSU, Celje, 2019, recently at the Spider festival in the forest district of Ljubljana.
