U.F.O. - Hommage to Katalin Ladik

U.F.O. - Hommage to Katalin Ladik

Choreography: Irena Z. Tomažin, Jule Flierl

The artists Irena Z. Tomažin and Jule Flierl create a homage for the Hungarian-Serbian poet and performer Katalin Ladik, who is considered the “Yoko Ono of the Balkans” and a pioneer of noise and performance art in Southeastern Europe. They pay tribute to Katalin Ladik’s voice work and play with the acronym U.F.O. as a poetic point of departure. This first collaboration of Slovenian ChoreoVocalist Irena Z. Tomažin and German ToneDancer Jule Flierl celebrates their shared interest in Ladik’s artistic position: a homage that blurs the boundaries between poetry, acting and experimental voice work, while continuing the two artists’ own research into the physical experience of language and the articulation of different layers of the voice.
