Mapiranje je proces opazovanja mesta kot predstave. Opazovalec je vabljen, da vsakdanje gibe, zvoke, pogovore in predmete v mestu prevaja v fikcijo, mestne ulice se spremenijo v scenografijo, vsakdanji gibi pa v koreografijo. Tako vsak opazovan dogodek postane zgodba točno določene točke v mestu v natančno odmerjenem času. To je način prisvajanja mesta, ki je vedno tam, kjer te ni.

Kot vsak gledališki dogodek je tudi ta zasnovan po v naprej pripravljenih protokolih: pogovori med predstavo kot tudi uporaba mobilnih telefonov niso dobrodošli, čas Mapiranja pa je natančno opredeljen. Mapiranja so organizirana tako za zaključene skupine, kakor tudi za posameznike. Če si želite Mapirat, se javite na dejan_srhoj@yahoo.com in dogovorile se boste za srečanje. Mapiranje mesta sestavlja opazovanje in pogovor v skupnem trajanju 90 min. V letih 2024 in 2025 se Mapiranja odvijajo na ulicah različnih mest; Ljubljana, Falun, Alvdalen, Sandviken, Novi Sad, Stockholm in drugje.

Mapping is a process of observing the city as a performance. The observer is invited to translate everyday movements, sounds, conversations, and objects in the city into fiction; city streets turn into scenography, and daily movements into choreography. In this way, every observed event becomes a story of a specific point in the city at a precisely measured moment in time. It is a way of claiming the city, which is always where you are not.

Like any theatrical event, this one is also based on pre-defined protocols: conversations during the performance as well as the use of mobile phones are not welcome, and the time of Mapping is strictly defined.  Mapping sessions are organized both for closed groups and individuals. If you would like to Map, contact dejan_srhoj@yahoo.com, and you will arrange a meeting. Mapping the City consists of observation and conversation, lasting a total of 90 minutes.  In 2024 and 2025, Mapping takes place in the streets of various cities: Ljubljana, Falun, Älvdalen, Sandviken, Novi Sad, Stockholm, and beyond.
