How the method worksKako deluje metoda

Cases grew out of the artists’ own stories of migration, told in the language of circus: the body, objects, a suitcase that holds an entire life. Not a word is spoken on stage, so nothing is lost in translation. Cases je nastal iz lastnih migracijskih zgodb naših umetnikov, povedanih v jeziku cirkusa: s telesom, s predmeti, s kovčkom, ki vsebuje celo življenje. Na odru ne pade niti ena beseda, zato se v prevodu nič ne izgubi.

1. 01 The languageJezik

   The language of circus takes that barrier away, and we get to live the feeling together with the audience Jezik cirkusa odpravi to oviro, tako da lahko čustvo doživljamo skupaj z občinstvom

   Difficult themes are best approached through images. The language of circus is supple, and it reaches people whatever language they speak: it lets us talk in symbols and with the body. It removes the barrier between us, so that performers and audience live through the same feeling without anyone counting words. K težkim temam se je najbolje približati skozi podobe. Jezik cirkusa je gibek in doseže ljudi ne glede na to, kateri jezik govorijo: omogoča nam govoriti s simboli in s telesom. Odpravlja oviro med nami, tako da nastopajoči in občinstvo doživljajo isto čustvo, ne da bi kdo štel besede.

2. 02 The imagePodoba

   What has life packed into your suitcase? That depends on how you look at it Kaj je življenje spakiralo v tvoj kovček? Odvisno je, kako nanj pogledaš

   A suitcase is not only a story about migration. It is an image for everything a life has packed into us. When we are born, our family, our country and the people closest to us hand us a suitcase. After that we either carry it with us and draw strength and inspiration from it, or we set it down, or we tip it out and pack something new. One image, and everyone in the room already has an answer of their own. Kovček ni le zgodba o migraciji. Je podoba vsega, kar je življenje spakiralo vate. Ko se rodimo, nam družina, domovina in najbližji izročijo kovček. Potem ga bodisi nosimo naprej in iz njega črpamo moč in navdih, bodisi ga odložimo, bodisi ga povsem izpraznimo in vanj spakiramo nekaj novega. Ena sama podoba, in vsak v dvorani že ima svoj odgovor.

3. 03 The searchIskanje

   We are here, and we want to know something about you Tukaj smo in radi bi izvedeli nekaj o vas

   The theme of a performance is not invented at a desk. It is found together with the people whose lives it touches: our artists brought their own stories, and those stories turned into images, music and movement. We also took away the line between the stage and the seats, because the point is not something to watch but a conversation that carries on afterwards. That search is the method, and it is exactly what you practise in the workshop. Tema predstave ne nastane za pisalno mizo. Odkrijemo jo skupaj z ljudmi, katerih življenja se dotika: naši umetniki so prinesli svoje zgodbe, te zgodbe pa so se spremenile v podobe, glasbo in gibanje. Izginila je tudi meja med odrom in gledalci, saj ne gre za nekaj, kar gledaš, temveč za pogovor, ki se nadaljuje. To iskanje je metoda in prav to vadiš na delavnici.

Point of viewZorni kot The same situation seen through the eyes of different people, sometimes people who are utterly at odds. We hold those views side by side without judging them, and we choose to move forward rather than to dwell on the pain. Ista situacija, videna skozi oči različnih ljudi, včasih takih, ki si popolnoma nasprotujejo. Ta stališča postavljamo drug ob drugega, ne da bi jih presojali, in izberemo, da gremo naprej, namesto da bi obujali bolečino.
