WHYWOULDANYONESTOPME
is about one’s path and the paths that cross it. These
encounters form events, created by the reactions of the
people who have met. Matjaž Farič presents the author
dance solo with numerous performers whose presences
bring autobiographical fragments into the shift, the
move, and the trance of the dancer. The performance as
a synthetic process does not wish to function as a
nostalgic reminiscence but aims to contemplate the past
through irony and self-reflection which – owing to the
participating dancers –adds a moment of current
happening on the Slovene stages. Matjaž Farič invited
dancers who have, since 1986, participated in his
performances. These drive, disturb and interrupt the
action which is rounded by the individual’s
predetermined path and is crossed by the music of
Kleemar & därectalchex. Primož Jesenko
