Maja Dekleva Lapajne and Norbert Sven Fö: Life. Refabricated.
Life. Refabricated. is a regular meeting on stage of Maja Dekleva Lapajne and Norbert Sven Fö, observing and exploring the meeting points of theater and dance improvisation, meanwhile not minding to wander off into clowning and enjoy some clumsy music making; and last but not least to (re)fabricate some of the fabric(s) of life. All this stage endeavor is fueled by close friendship and powered by passion for creating games.
Each such meeting is focused on a particular theme which is sticking out at the time of the stage meeting. Reflecting on the theme while performing and doing so by using the medium of performing, we reflect not only on the theme, but as well on performing, relation to the public, stage as medium and life itself. Ah. And again maybe the chosen theme will not stick but will just give birth to the more actual one.
Welcome, to meet life, stage, us on and in it, and see how fabric of life will be remixed by all of us being there.
