About the performance:
The notion of distance is peculiar to modern society and is very well known. It is about social and physical distance, distancing the individual on a physical and, consequently, also on a social, mental and spiritual level. With the modern way of life and the introduction of digital technology, contacts between people are decreasing, impoverished, and formalized. Modern inventions for improving human life certainly work, but at the same time, they interfere with millennia-old established ways of life, natural patterns of living, biological rhythms, social life of humans, which threaten human physical and mental health. The distance, which took on special dimensions in the half-past period of covid, deepened the gap between people, alienation, individualism, and the distance of man from himself, which is already present in modern society. At the same time, it also accelerated the development of digital society and artificial intelligence. It is the latter, which has recently been on an explosive rise, that opens up new possibilities for the technological progress of mankind, but at the same time potentiates the most dangerous form of distance - distance from reality, which man as a social animal needs so much.
Current dance performance does not distance itself from pressing social issues and dance touches the essence of human existence - closeness. Closeness to the body, fellow human being, co-creator, the world and the planet we live on. With an international cast of dancers, MN Dance Company in co-production with SNG Nova Gorica will contribute to the motto of uniting and connecting, overcoming all distances, which ECOC 2025 carries.
