CAUSE OF DISEASE
The Cause of disease is a piece created from the living in the everyday context of implementation of new laws and regulations. We are facing with new constrains, on which we cannot influence. Is freedom only accessible in our minds since the public spaces are clearly defined and priced? Provoked by “prohibited”, aiming to explore the effect of the restrictions, we are looking for alternative solutions that can transform the restrictions into more inclusive practices. Our work extracts three aspects: restriction of body/ body-movement, restriction of voice/speaking and restriction of the new technologies.
Finally, because the cause of diseases, maybe we should take permanent residence in our thoughts…only there the freedom seams possible.
The collaboration between Lokomotiva, Skopje and the international artistic network APAP in the frame of the Advancing Performing Arts Project enabled support of six international residencies of Macedonian authors to work on development of new contemporary dance productions.
The Cause of disease by the authors Viktorija Ilioska, Kliment Poposki and Tanja Ribarska was supported in the frame of this collaboration with three production residencies.
