Arriving in good time
During the festive season in December, traffic tends to get heavily congested in Ljubljana. Visitors are advised to leave home earlier than usual to avoid arriving late.
Duration: 60 minutes
The Machine is a duet between Bojana Robinson, a choreographer and dancer, and a breathing machine occasionally used by her daughter. Although the device has entered Bojana’s life to alleviate her child's medical condition, the artist explores her personal relationship with a technological device that directly and indirectly affects her life.
The choreographer explores the nature of the machine, tracing its evolvement into the performance’s subject and ways of embodying the relationship between devices and humans.
The machine is an intermediary. The machine is a source of fear and discomfort, but also of safety and freedom. The machine evokes emotions, calls for emotions.
