1. STONEWALL INN (solo, Poland)
choreography, dance: Jarosław Mysona
duration: 6 min
Stonewall Inn is a place of revolution, fulfilment of a fantasy, freedom, but can HE feel safe there? STONEWALL INN is not just a picture of a young, closeted inhabitant ofGreenwich Village in New York?s district of Manhattan. It’s not just an attempt to hide from a ubiquitous offensive. In his eyes, you can see stories that become universal and refer to all of us.
2. harMOnizaTION (duo, Poland)
choreography, dance: Marta Jakimicha, Paulina Spiel
duration: 8:40 min
As a result of searching for various forms of stage movement, dancers create one organic creation. The risk of motion research taken is provided by a revealing, temperamental picture. We will notice domination, sometimes accentuated with aggression, but also with humility and submission, all closed in a balanced partnership that endows them with organic expression.
3. Form 01 (solo, Poland)
choreography, dance: Damian Drozd
duration: 6 min
Exploring new areas of space through the body. The body as a medium for such qualities as: frequency, animation, shape, and a space composed of: dimensions, levels, layers, restrictions. Searching for the basic form ? a supremacy of movement.
4. Between you and me? (duo, Poland)
choreography: Anna Sawicka-Hodun
dance: Szymon Tur, Patrycja Sulik
duration: 7 min
Between you and me a young relationship… a confrontation… between you and me a short exchange of views…
5. Melancholy (solo, Poland)
choreography: Jakub Lewandowski
dance: Dominika Wiak
duration: 6 min
It is difficult to contribute anything permanent when being aware of the colourless surrounding reality. Everything that fate brings us comes from fantasies. A place between presence and absence, emptiness and excess.
6. Pulso (solo, Portugal)
choreography, dance: Maria Rita Nogueira
duration: 4 min
?Pulso? is a solo that represents all people who have a steady hand in different situations. There are many challenging occasions on which we need to resist, and even resist strongly. ?Pulso? describes all people who live this lifestyle/way of life.
INTERMISSION
7. Birches (duo, Slovenia)
choreography:April Veselko
dance: April Veselko, Rebeka Hanžel
duration: 9 min
Birch is a tree of a distant promise, forever young and agile, but infinitely grieving. She offers consolation in solitude, softens the edges and melts the border between the sky and the earth. Forgetting all memories, having no expectations, this is not a story, it is only a flash of now and here, or never and nowhere.
8. No, where (solo, Poland)
choreography: Paulina Będkowska, Monika Małycha
dance: Paulina Będkowska
duration: 5:40
The most difficult thing is to escape from yourself. No matter how fast you run, you will always see your own back.
9. COSMO (duo, Poland / Japan)
choreography, dance: Zuzanna Pruska, Yoh Morishita
duration: 9 min
The performers are asking questions: why is today’s world so divided by us-people, why do we impose so many restrictions, rules and boundaries on ourselves? Seeking answers, they place themselves not only as cosmopolitans, but they enter a completely different abstract reality as a cosmonaut. By changing the point of view, looking at everything from a distance, the answers begin to appear themselves …
Performance COSMO is a compilation of thoughts and observations about the reality that surrounds us. Creating the surrealistic, futuristic world, artists invite the audience to individual interpretation and (self)reflection.
10. Für Roman (solo, Poland)
choreography, dance: Monika Witkowska
duration: 5:23 min
Passing, constancy, movement, time. ?In eternity nothing passes away, but everything is the present?.
11. Moira (duo, Poland)
choreography: Ilona Gumowska
dance: Emilia Biskupik, Sara Kozłowska
duration: 9 min
In Greek mythology Moira is the incarnations of destiny, controlling the mother thread of life of every mortal from birth to death. She is independent, at the helm of necessity, directs fate and watches that the fate assigned to every being by eternal laws might take its course without obstruction. The question is: can one escape from destiny and create his life on one’s own?
We invite you to participate in a discussion with the jurors and creators of performances after all presentations.
Seemingly, the individual has not changed.
He is keeping the social connections, still working.
But, there is something different, something intangible that separates him from his loved ones.
As if he were from a different world, instead of standing on the same ground as the others.
The change is sensed but not really noticeable.

Marcin Janus is a Cracow-based sound and multimedia artist, electronic and elecroacoustic music composer. For many years he has been involved with original artistic projects. He composes (and oftentimes performs) music for numerous dance and theatre performances. Working at the intersection of various art forms, he builds complex sound environments. When creating his projects, he aims to bring about immersive performances, imbuing the world and thought with unique sound phenomena and providing a wide range of sense impressions. In his creative process he concentrates on the timbral properties of sound, examining its basic characteristics and often seeking its reflection in movement and images, and gives new meaning to these phenomena by arranging them in musical space. He works in digital media, most often using Ableton Live and Metasynth as well as midi controllers, which provide unique musical possibilities that result in the wide sound palette of his music. In his technology-based work, one can hear the juxtaposition of recordings and organic sounds with synthesized hues of an often dynamic quality. He started out as a musician in experimental groups, and after several years began working as an independent composer. He was the recipient of an Art Stations Foundation grant within the Solo Project program, and a finalist in the composer competition held as part of the John Cage Year in Lublin 2012. He has also gained experience as a course participant and recently as part of the GrupLab Studio of Electroacoustic Music at the Academy of Music in Krakow, where he has taken part in numerous artistic projects. In addition to regular appearances in Poland, he has also performed in London, Lisbon, Turin and Frankfurt.
