Five artists, a musician, a writer, a dancer, an actress and a theatre
director, starting from human closeness gathered around the project in
which they tell, act, dance and stage fairy tales for the audience: a
folk tale dancing tango with our subconsciousness, an anti-fairy tale
by Ivana Bodrožić in the form of a contemporary short story about a
cleaning lady who lost her job because the management does not like
her, monologues spoken by real people from a Zagreb tram who talk to
themselves from one station to another, a meditation in which we skate
and snowboard along the Milky Way… Radio-phonic character of this
performance provides us with an opportunity to “look with our ears”
the whole time and see beyond by doing so. This project is a crossover
of storytelling, radio and performance art. By being present on the
stage in contact with the audience, we are trying to shed light on
certain paradoxes of our inner and everyday lives. We are telling
fairy tales in people’s homes, on the stage, in clubs; we are telling
them for the sake of telling and wondering.
