The Artificial Nature Project by Mette Ingvartsen
The Artificial Nature Project is the latest in a series of four works by Mette Ingvartsen staging
perceptions and sensations of nature. The interest in fictionalizing and choreographing natural
phenomena started in 2009 with "Evaporated Landscapes", a performance installation devoid of
human presence where the act of performing itself was given over to materials like bubbles, foam,
fog, sounds and light. In The Artificial Nature Project, a new encounter between human and nonhuman
performers begins with the following questions:
What does it mean to make a choreography for materials where human movement is no longer in
the center of attention?
How can one address the force of things, materials, objects and matters as something that acts
upon humans?
What is the relationship between the animate and the inanimate world?
The outcome is a performance that literally throws things around. Materials fly through the air
giving rise to a landscape that constantly transforms itself. Throughout the performance the view is
persistently changing: a calm contemplative site may turn into an energetic chaos of stuff being
projected into space. Or, a flood wave becomes a storm of confetti whirling through the air, rushing
over the stage. The theater stage gets covered with and traversed by various objects and raw
materials, creating a disastrous mess of small, thick, light, big, heavy, thin, breakable and resistant
things. The materials are set into motion by dancers, composing a body that is no longer made of
human flesh but rather of a floating, flying mass. The emerging choreography is partly performed
by human, partly by non-human performers set in motion. The movement mutates the appearance
and perception of these materials in many forms: from an abstract sculpture, a swarm of animals,
to a sandstorm overwhelming the humans who get stuck inside it. One image is replaced by
another, rapidly altering our perception of a glittering landscape.

Anagoor at a residency in Zagreb!
APAP ARTISTIC RESIDENCY – ANAGOOR "L.I."
26th to 31st of March 2012 / APAP ARTISTIC RESIDENCY – ANAGOOR "L.I." @ Theatre &TD – SEK hall
Culture of Change (Student Centre) - Apap Performing Europe network is organizing an artistic residency from 26th to 31st of March 2012 for Italian theatre group ANAGOOR from Veneto. Anagoor is coming to Zagreb to artistic residency to research and create for their new theatre project „L.I.“
Anagoor on their new project „L.I.“:
During Anagoor's theatrical research and after the design of the dramaturgical elements, there are two creative paths that precede any figurative invention. On one side we have research and musical composition through constructing architecture and sound landscapes; and on the other side we have scenography designing in order to realize the physical ambient using recordings to support the designing process.
During their stay in Zagreb, Anagoor's prime interest is to focus on the montage of the video material collected for the “L.I.” project and to set up the sound landscape of the video, all to be ready for the premiere of the performance on the 26th of April 2012 at the International Film Festival in Trent (Il Festival Internazionale del Cinema di Trento).
“L.I.”, Aangoor's new project begins from the historical deliberation over the „man hunt“ theme trying to investigate some of the aspects of memory, token and sacrifice, and their connection to the problem of ethnos and language, often understood as two true merits of democracy we can use to differentiate and separate people among each other.
The clashing point of this fierce vortex is the mountain massive of Caucasus taken as an excuse for the mystic hill, the mountain is there to interline elements of historical reality and, just like some broken mirror, reflect images similar to those from dreams and nightmares.
About Anagoor:
Theatre project Anagoor was founded in 2000 and its activity is mostly connected to Castelfranco Veneto in Italy. Anagoorbears and combines experiences of few different performers, dramaturgical, visual and musical artist. Education span of Aangoor members is diverse: from classical philology, art history, architecture, fine arts, dance and music to other practices of theatre work. Today, Anagoor is one of the most engaged new theatre companies in Italy, and together with BabilioniaTeatri and Pathosfermel the leader of the Renaissance of the Venetian Contemporary Theatre, which made the north east culture scene of Italy visible to public and media.
Anagoor is a member of Apap network since 2011. In 2009, Anagoor was awarded with Special recognition for the play Tempesta at the Scenario Award 2009. Since 2009,Anagoor is supported byFies Factory. In 2008, Anagoor was one of the finalists of Extra Prize 08.
Anagoor's research is based on the archetypes which are then developed by Anagoor in the direction of inventing new iconographies and new paths of writing and scene designing, trying to find new myths by mixing and distilling everything that is remembered in our cultural DNA. Anagoor's theatre is in the eternal tension between stammering barbarism and crystal clear neoclassicism.
"_replacements for Years of Refusal" by Irena Čurik

Theater maker Irena Čurik (Zagreb) is basing her new performance piece, called upon music record ‘Years of refusal’, on the theme of personal and professional failings, failures, misfortunes, refusals, fiascos, shortly: fizzles.
The performance is being constructed from the mosaic of personal fragments made of memories, abandoned bodies, ex-lives, wasted concepts and broken illusions. Illusions that have lost their powers to protect us. So we must find some new ones; travelling through reflections of the present moment, moment of a live performance. There's something ceremonial in it. In a way it's very similar to the ceremony of protecting yourself from the evil fairies; they say that even if the good fairies do exist, they certainly aren't in the woods. You must always protect yourself before entering a forest. Weird things have happened.
