| What a feeling! dance and choreography: Nina Mesko; idea: Nina Mesko; Tanja Lacetic & Dejan Habicht, Alen OSbolt, Siga Karic, Tobias Purith, Saso Vrabic; dramaturgy: Simona Semenic; choreographic assistance: Petra Sist; light design: Danilo Pecar; audio and video: Boctjan Repansek; stage design: Martin Bricelj; : Zavod Masa; Together with artists of the visual arts the dancer and choreographer, Nina Mesko from Ljubljana, worked on the project "What a feeling!". A five series dance performance that plays with elements of (American) film and pop culture was created. From a humorous to a cynical way Nina Mesko replies to the models of the western culture that she wants and has to belong to in order to be an international artist. A unique combination of dance and visual concepts is given to the world. Nina Mesko offers a completely new feeling to her audience: What a feeling! "Visual and film art expert a powerful influence over my work. In an attempt to widen the possibilities of expressing form and content trough the body in motion, the body on stage, I have decided to invite visual artists, whose work I find interesting, to create a short solo for me. I asked them to stick to their subject matter but to try and express them through a new form. I then combined solos into an all-evening performance, much like a music concert. So that all of it does not have an illusionary appeal, but presents an umbrella structure connecting works by different authors."
