Dalija Aćin: Oh no!

Break it smoothly
Dalija Aćin is a renowned contemporary dance choreographer from Belgrade who often explores the boundaries of contemporary dance and its diverse expressive forms. In her explorations, she repeatedly reaches for other dance genres, subtly intertwining them with the elements and principles of contemporary dance.

In Oh no!, two outstanding breakdancers from Belgrade, Recognize Crew members Darko Bursać and Luka Lukić, create an intimate atmosphere with slow b-boying movements. Their motions resemble slow breathing, enchanting the audience and leading them into a special and intimate world of two dancers through a steady rhythm.

The precise virtuosity of breakdance is infused with the abstraction of contemporary dance, within which Aćin plays with themes of masculinity, searching for seductiveness in movement, and moments of fragility and calmness that highlight the aesthetic beauty of the moving, intelligent body.
