Solo u A major, op. 69

Solo me is a solo for two performers - choreographers. It is a construction in which two different choreographic solo materials, opinions, processes come in touch with each other. Although both solos were made individually and can be performed as such, the idea of juxtaposition, adjoining and refraction of one material in another seemed very interesting to be researched. Solo by Pravdan Devlahović initiates questions of defining the space surrounding his body (as a space that is being watched) by minimal alternations of movement which, in elaboration, gradually infect the whole body. Pravdan walks his choreographic material, passing through different points in the space in a way that the moment he finds the right spot, he abandons it in search of a new one. By doing so he exposes his body to various perspectives in relation to the viewers, incorporating this consciousness of being watched all the time as and integral part of the performance.

Solo by Nikolina Pristaš is an attempt to thematize the act of (self)beginning. Thinking about the idea of multiple beginnings, reiterated attempts at always different quality of more or less the same movements brought her to the idea of writing one choreographic sentence in different (choreographic) fonts. The chosen fonts found their corporeal equivalents by means of different perspectives, technical foci, formal strategies and orientations which, in process, redefine the differences in affective result in relation to the main sentence.
