Balkans: Sad Sam Lucky

Pula, Croatia / Ljubljana, Slovenia

The award-winning Croatian choreographer and dancer wrestles with a table on a white floor that gradually metamorphoses into an abstract painting in an enigmatic and profoundly emotional homage to the expressionist poet, Srečko Kosovel (1904-1926), the ‘Rimbaud’ of the Slavonic world.
