You get one more chance. You can’t miss it. It’s just that good!

I’m talking, of course, about the Zagreb based performance collective BADco., and their performance LEAGUE OF TIME.

One of the participants in the performance League of Time.

“What happened to all future times whose time has run out? What happens to futures that never took place?

A combination of Kafka, futurism, Soviet Sci-fi and Eastern European ufology is brought together with BADco.’s own brand of stylish humour and wry intelligence.”

(from www.tromseas.no)

I could not help but being totally amazed by the talent and creativity in this pefromance. Using movement in space, and time, this incredible troop kept me entertained, amused and amazed for the full hour that it lasted. It left me content; still wanting more!

One of the props involved in the performance

For one, the ensemble used a lot of props. A LOT. I have seen a few plays in my life, and a lot of inventive, wonderfull stuff. And this topped it all. Four superb characters/shapes, utilizing a wast floor, papers, latters, miniature models of all sorts of exelent stuff. And space.

This is a really well spent hour. And it has got something for all; wether you enjoy words, surealism, astronomy, movement, gadgets, lights or being amazed.

The performance moves in time.. and space.

I’ll include some more interesting facts from the SEAS web site, that you might like to know:

The artistic core of the collective are Pravdan Devlahović, Ivana Ivković, Ana Kreitmeyer, Tomislav Medak, Goran Sergej Pristaš, Nikolina Pristaš and Zrinka Užbinec.
As a combination of four choreographer / dancers, two dramaturges and one philosopher, Badco. has, since its beginning in 2000, systematically focused on the research of protocols of performing, presenting and observing, by structuring its projects around diverse formal and perceptual relations and contexts. Reconfiguring established relations between performance and audience, challenging given perspectives and architectonics of performance, problematising of communicational structures – all of that makes BADco. an internationally significant artistic phenomenon and one of the most unique performance experiences.”

The performance includes use of light and projections

Now.. I’ll say it one more time:

You get only this chance! You can’t miss it. It’s just that good!

THEIR LAST PERFORMANCE IS FRIDAY NIGHT 18.09.09 @ 1900/7pm at Rådstua Teaterhus (just above the Town Square).

Enjoy!

This performance is a must-see!
