Frayed edges, transitions, transitory spaces, even puddles that force us to leap - all this can be found in a region that is currently on a fast track to European values and norms; BONE 16 - as a CULTURESCAPES partner - focuses on one of the most fascinating regions, a region with a rich and long history of performance art, the "Balkans". Expanded (creative) spaces, unorthodox formats, frayed edges - this is also the nature of performance art being celebrated at the 16th edition of BONE.
