Awards
The
jury found the performance U.F.O. by Jule Flierl and Irena Tomazin
outstanding on different levels: the political dimension and power of
the voice, the physicality of the sound, and the philosophical
reflections on voice, body and space, but also the historical research.
We were impressed by the precise dramaturgy and rhythm of the piece.
The Hungarian-Serbian poet and performer Katalin
Ladik is considered the “Yoko Ono of the Balkans” and a pioneer of noise and
performance art in Southeastern Europe: With the “SoundBodyPoetry” of her
radical body art performance UFO Party from 1969, she shook the
artistic scene at the time and established methods of experimental voice work
and physical performance already in the 1970s.
In their first collaboration, German sound dancer Jule Flierl and Slovenian
choreo-vocalist Irena Z. Tomažin celebrate 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.
