Folk - Dunja Jocić & Orbita | Spellbound
Eight dancers take the audience on a physical and immersive experience in which group behaviour unfolds according to an ever-changing logic. We are drawn into increasingly strange rituals, and our ideas about what we see and feel are turned upside down again and again. The show lets you feel how confronting, seductive and frightening collective forces can be.
Jocić draws inspiration from the rich folk traditions of the former Yugoslavia and from the turbulent ’90s, when ideological shifts profoundly changed daily life and personal identity. Beyond this context, Jocić reconsiders her own roots and draws parallels with today’s world.
In Folk Jocić uses the raw energy of Balkan music and dance to give rise to new rituals: where tradition, trance and transformation meet, with echoes of social upheaval.
