SOLARISATION (2026)

More sun does not mean more reality. The process of solarisation — the overexposure of a surface to light — is not a revelation, but a blinding. It is the point where illumination becomes annihilation. To choreograph solarisation is to treat the body as a sensitive surface. Each gesture becomes a chemical event: an oxidation, a dissolution, a stain. The conceptual framework draws on Bataille’s notion of the sun — a source of light that gives not illumination but disease, corruption and waste.

Balkan Ballerinas is a performance that aims to question the boundaries of the body by relating to Eastern European and Balkan identity. Inspired by stigmas and identity stereotypes created by the West and projected onto the Balkans, the performance conducts an analysis of Balkan culture. The body is portrayed as a transition zone, between two instances – pride and shame, past and present, folklore and rave, ballet and manele. Starting from the concepts of Balkanism and post-communism, the performance investigates a reactive body that challenges prejudices, normative models, and geographical, political, and cultural boundaries.
