La isla bonita is a cycle of hybrid events combining performance art and contemporary club music. It's a series of five site-specific experiments which deal with the »hype*« phenomenon and the various strategious it exploits. In terms of content and the narrative, La isla bonita is questioning the constant challenges and pressures of (re)creating content and its potential for the production of »hype«. What are the ways in which »hype« is generated and is there any content hidden behind it? Through various strategies of confronting contemporary club music with public non-performative spaces, La isla bonita explores the role and the power of »hype« in experiencing and valuing content – both on social media as well as in the context of art.
*Hype refers to artificially created expectations around a person or a product whose promotional campaing and image have been built from overestimating their traits and characteristics.

Production: Zavod Sploh and Via Negativa

LA ISLA BONITA@NOVO LETO
31.12. at 10 pm, main hall, Španski borci
In cooperation with EN-KNAP and Španski borciLA ISLA BONITA@NEW YEAR is the resulting hybrid event combining performance and contemporary club music from the cycle Ventilator. It is composed of LA ISLA BONITA performance and clubbing event AFTER LA ISLA BONITA. New Year, as an evening and as an event, represents the ultimate culmination of »hype«. It establishes the concept of a turning point of great alternations and determinating effects. La isla bonita is a construct of a game that never ends. It is a game, trapped in the constant production of content. It dribbles the questions of expectations, resolutions, superstitions, ritual, sacrifice and (dis)utopia.

“Don't stop me now, I’m having such a good time, I’m having a ball”

Avtorici: Kristina Aleksova in Anita Wach
Sodeluje: Eduardo Raon

Posvetitev pomladi Igorja Stravinskega, ki je bila v preteklosti obravnavana kot kontroverzno delo, je nastala v času velikega znanstvenega, umetniškega in intelektualnega napredka. V glasbenem in izvedbenem smislu predstavlja enega od obratov v gledališki umetnosti, koreografi pa jo še danes obravnavajo na zelo različne načine.
Kristina Aleksova in Anita Wach v seriji Ventilator tematsko razčlenjujeta delo. V drugem v seriji izvedbenih dogodkov se z Eduardom Raonom lotevata teme ekstaze.
Ekstaza – stanje občutkov in čustev, ki je tako intenzivno, da presežemo razumsko razmišljanje in samokontrolo. Stanje duha, ki ustvari prostor za nepredstavljiva dejanja in preseganje znanega. Ta pa hkrati rodi potrebo po ponovnem prevzemu nadzora in nujnost vračanja v realnost.
V resnici si ne želimo iti do samega konca. Smo razumna bitja in poskus obračanja običajne zaznave je igra razuma, ki si obupno želi izklopa, a ne ve kako. Tisto, ki to ve, je telo in preprosta logika mehanike.
