dragON aka PONY

dragON aka PONY je koreografsko delo, ki predstavlja igrišče, prežeto z mnogimi plesnimi referencami iz preteklosti in sedanjosti, le-te pa izvirajo iz Zahodne in Vzhodne Evrope, in ustvarjajo prostor nenehnega prehajanja, razkrivajo intimnost ter izpostavljajo skromno sobivanje. V okviru sodobne pop kulture delo ponovno oživlja geometrijsko koreografijo skozi prizmo klasicizma in uporabe folklore kot ritualne oblike. dragON aka PONYima kanček Isadore in veliko elementov iz televizijskih programov MTV ali VH1.

dragON aka PONY je prvi del projekta dragON, koreografske trilogije, ki so jo skupaj ustvarili Aleksandar Georgiev, Zhana Pencheva in Darío Barreto Damas (znani tudi kot STEAM ROOM). Projekt se ukvarja s telesom protesta in praznovanja na drag sceni ter raziskuje njuno korelacijo znotraj plesa in koreografije.

dragON aka PONY is a choreographic work that presents a playground charged with multiple dance references from the past and present, arriving from Western and Eastern Europe, creating a space of constant transition, unfolding intimacy and exposing humble coexistence. Within a frame of contemporary POP, the work revives geometrical choreography through the prism of classicism and the usage of folklore as a ritualistic form. dragON aka PONY has a little bit of Isadora and a lot of MTV or VH1.

dragON aka PONY is the first work of the project dragON, a choreographic trilogy coauthored by Aleksandar Georgiev, Zhana Pencheva and Darío Barreto Damas, (aka STEAM ROOM). The project deals with the protest and celebration body in the dragging scene, exploring their correlation within dance and choreography.
