Croatian premiere 29th of April 2009.
author, choreographer, performer: Matija Ferlin
In his new show "I AM NOW "/ almost 6 / Matija Ferlin reviews children's mind.
Theoretician Marina Grzinic has described Matija Ferlin as a “terrorist (in a Deleuzian sense)”. The young choreographer is considered a continuer of the conceptual aesthetics of artists like Jérôme Bel and Xavier Le Roy. However, he actually combines conceptual approaches with radical physicality and movement in a new, extraordinary way. To project the immediate poetry of Katalina Mella, Ferlin exhibits the character of “SaD SaM”. He shrinks neither from the painfulness nor the embarrassment of lost love and growing up, and plays ably with the tension between the visible and the invisible, between the warmth of intimacy and the coldness of being exhibited.
