Banković opens his piece with a poetic, soft image in blue, in which the dancers with their slow movements create the atmosphere of piece or a dream. This quality is contrasted by the agresive, energetic images in which the dancers, squeezed on a bench, push each other and occasionally fall out of the game, moving into a dreamlike atmosphere. The contrast between the two qualities, together with the development and sequence of images, makes the impression of the two parallel realities - the daily, chaotic, agressive, wearying one, and the one consisting of human desire for peace and softness. Banković sticks to the recognizable choreographic approaches, but he does it with maturity and imagination, easily changing the qualities and the meanings in the abstract sequences of movement, and thus introduces himself as a quality choreographer with the strength for demanding tasks...
The Studio Contemporary Dance Company was founded in 1962 in Zagreb by the local pioneers of modern dance, Ana and Vera Maletić. Its work is based on the tradition of contemporary dance expression, embracing new cultural trends and adjusting to the requirements of the artistic and cultural communication. In addition to national choreographers, the company has collaborated with numerous choreographers and pedagogues from France, Great Britain, USA, Spain, Slovenia and The Netherlands.
