Luka works out every day, answers emails on time, showers every morning with cold water, eats healthy, separates waste, cleans, cooks; in short, he does everything he can to keep things from spiralling out of control. Everything makes him sick, but there are some things you just have to swallow.

How far do we want to push ourselves to keep things under control? Where is freedom, joy, happiness? If you too feel that you are just a sheepdog, trying to get your desires, instincts, obligations, worries, problems etc. in order on a daily basis, then Luka is your man. A clown who forgot to be funny and a performer who can’t be serious.

This project is based on the participation in the Via Negativa laboratory for contemporary performance arts – VN Lab (2022) and the international project for performance art research – PARL (2022).

 

The show will be in Slovene.
