Eight dancers take the audience into a physical and immersive experience in which group behavior unfolds according to a different logic. We are sucked into increasingly strange rituals, and our ideas about what we see and feel are constantly turned upside down. The performance shows how confrontational, seductive and frightening collective forces can be.

Jocić draws inspiration from the rich folk traditions of former Yugoslavia and from the turbulent 1990s, when the ideological shifts profoundly changed daily life and personal identity. Outside of this context, Jocić rethinks her own roots and draws parallels with today's world.

In Folk jocić uses the raw energy of Balkan music and dance to create new rituals: at the intersection of tradition, trance and transformation, with echoes of social upheavals.
