‹Love will tear us apart› is a solo piece of the Croatian theatre director and dance advisor Saša Božić in cooperation with the Croatian dancer and choreographer Petra Hrašćanec. It is the first part of a trilogy dedicated to the special relationship between contemporary dance and pop music. It blends several genres - somewhere between a rock concert, a confession and abstract dance. Petra Hrašćanec dances to chosen love songs, while in the breaks between the songs the audience learns seemingly ephemeral details about the origin of this production.

Petra Zanki ‹Paces›
No movement is ever repeated in the exact same way, no picture is ever taken twice. We have blind faith in the fact that the world will appear tomorrow as it did today. In the solo performance ‹Paces› by the Zagreb-based dancer and performer Petra Zanki, all the elements undergo a gradual modulation. What initially appears to be a repetition is in fact a minimal alteration of what has gone before. It is the simplest possible movement - a sway. The sway and its variations are performed mechanically, in an abstract manner - analytically, with a visibly deep and almost mystical concentration, yet without abandoning oneself to the movement. It is a continuous exchange of equal values that gently draws the audience into a space of perpetual movement.
