Anamaria Bagarić (SI): Preveč sveta se skriva v meni / The World Tethers

The World Tethers is a contemporary dance performance created by Anamaria Bagarić in collaboration with artists from various genres. Together with sound artist Ida Hiršenfelder, they have created a performance that embodies the oversaturation of information constantly seeping into the body. Through the prism of the body, this is expressed as an attempt at a physical representation of an inner monologue, while the music extracts its sounds from deep within, “from beneath the shoulder blades.” Movement and thought follow the philosophy of butoh dance, highlighting the back as the primary signifier of the crossing between two worlds: the inner and the outer. Since the world moves at a pace the individual cannot follow, a counter-pole is needed—where the environment, even briefly, aligns with their own rhythm. The body becomes this counter-pole, searching within for authenticity and primality, which it cannot reach through thought alone. With every thought deconstructed to its foundations, the body grapples with where to store it, what to do with it, or even if it is its own to think—thus, telling a story of powerlessness. Throughout her creative process, Bagarić explored questions of solitude and loneliness, self-inquiry, bodily (in)capability, fluid empathy and transient relationships, exploitation in the name of belonging, conditions for existence, partial perception of reality, the truth of current will, collective emotional withdrawal, the exchange of primality for primitiveness, the idealization of naturalness and the natural state, questions of sexual identity, and finally, the privilege she lives while the world falls apart. A world that, through corporeality, is captured in the tissue of the body (Bagarić), words (Zabret), and music (Hiršenfelder).

V sodobni plesni predstavi Anamaria Bagarić v sodelovanju z zvočno umetnico Ido Hiršenfelder in umetniki različnih žanrov uteleša prenasičenost z informacijami, ki neprestano pronicajo v telo. V ustvarjalnem procesu je raziskovala vprašanja samote in osamljenosti, samospraševanja, telesne (ne)zmožnosti, fluidne empatije in prehodnih odnosov, izkoriščanja v imenu pripadnosti, pogojev za bivanje, delnega zaznavanja resničnosti, resnice trenutne volje, kolektivnega čustvenega umika, zamenjave prvinskosti s primitivnostjo, idealizacije naravnosti in naravnega stanja, vprašanj spolne identitete in nenazadnje privilegija, v katerem živi, medtem ko se svet okoli nje podira. Svet, ki se skozi telesnost ujame v tkivo telesa (Anamaria Bagarić), besed (Pavla Zabret) in glasbe (Ida Hiršenfelder).
