The starting points of the new performance Serata artistica giovanile by choreographer Maja Delak are expressionist piano compositions, full of fragments and complex dynamics, entitled Bagatelles, by Slovene composer Marij Kogoj (1892-1956). Besides Kogoj, the performance is informed by another avantgarde creator, the theatre director Ferdo Delak (1905-1968) and his project Serata artistica giovanile, which he understood as »the chorographical sketch of a life on stage«. The creators of the performance articulate corporeality marked by the stain/noise of social and political issues of the present through the prism of seven dynamic landscapes. This results in the establishment of a dynamic human figure that is tirelessly bound to communicate with its environment. Together with the music by Marij Kogoj, which will be performed live, and in dialogue with contemporary sound modulation and visual landscapes, the performance creates live images, where avantgarde ideas puncture the body, thus manifesting statements about the present moment.
