CHOREOGRAPHIE BABY ! : Episode 6 / HAIL MAMMARY

Premiere: 2014

Author: Jevtović & Larrerović This project is a trial for a textual and performative riot against blind hermeneutics, against the dirty kitchens of performance semiotics. It seeks to make use of the recognizable discourse and language which is applied to the world of performance, and rather than arriving at only another critique of a very specific socioprofessional habitus it aims to tamper with the quiet mechanisms of specific value and signification systems. On our little divan we are busy making a micro psychoanalysis of performing arts - seeking to scratch the unquestioned fixity of its discourse and language, to shift the meaning of its signifiers, to unpack les mots-valises.

2010 Jana Jevtović and Célina Larrèrović met somewhere in and around the Balkans, between a pancake, a rakija and a Linzertorte, as they were visiting some or other dance or performing arts festivals and programs.
Since first laying eyes on each other and before realizing whatsoever what they were actually getting themselves into, JEVTOVIĆ & LARRÈROVIĆ’s talking and practice exchanges have become on-going conversations which drift along questions of the politics of choreography, performative discourse, curry technique, alternative representation, ready-made concepts, performance practice, courses of the planets, star system organization, production problematics, diverse types of glands, collective experiences and the disasters of life in general.
While still vaguely looking for the meaning of life, they nevertheless decided to concentrate on another ambitious quest : searching for The Choreographic Immaculate Conception.
