Kto Tam? (Who Is There?)

Booking Required

Created and performed by Igor Mamlenkov and directed by Kostya Novitskiy, Kto Tam? is a 60-minute non-verbal visual tragicomedy that explores exile, memory, loneliness and resilience. Through precise movement, object manipulation and evocative shadow play, Mamlenkov animates forgotten belongings into companions, transforming absence into tender, absurd and deeply human encounters. Drawing on Slavic physical theatre traditions, the piece uses gesture and poetic imagery to build a universal, wordless journey into the heart of solitude.

Choreographed by Christos Papadopoulos, My Fierce Ignorant Step gathers ten bodies whose mounting breath becomes the show’s engine. The piece translates performers’ respiration into kinetic waves and layered soundscapes, dialoguing with the contemporary music of Mikis Theodorakis. Drawing on the choral pulse of ancient tragedy, the work collapses collective Hellenic memory into intimate reveries — the impulse of beginnings, the buoyancy of first encounters and the spontaneous spark of early laughter. The staging is physical, precise and visceral.

Their music intertwines Persian poetry, modal textures and modern arrangements, creating intimate, luminous moments that shift into collective catharsis.

Choreographed by Saša Asentić, Le Sacre du printemps is a reimagined Stravinsky landmark performed by the inclusive company Per.Art. Drawing on historical versions by the Ballets Russes, Maurice Béjart and Pina Bausch and enriched with the voices of disabled poets from Serbia, Iran, Ukraine and the United States, the seven dancers invert the original narrative. The staging transforms ritual into a manifesto of survival, blending physical rigor, collective solidarity and poetic testimony to renew the score as a cry for life.

Shyle Zalewski invites audiences into a two-part evening combining zine culture and an intimate concert. The first part presents a meeting and signing of self-published fanzines, foregrounding handwritten narratives and the DIY community around the artist. Later, under the alter ego edam edam, Zalewski offers a live set that blends fragile melodies and lo-fi textures, shifting the room from quiet reflection to charged immediacy. The night foregrounds intimacy, creative exchange, and the blurred line between reading and song.
