NA IVICI BUDUĆNOSTI

ON THE EDGE OF THE FUTURE On the eve of Bitef’s double edition

U Beogradu će se od 13. do 25. septembra održati duplo, 54. i 55. izdanje Bitef festivala, koji prošle godine zbog pandemije nije mogao da se predstavi u punom kapacitetu T ematski fokus 54. i 55. Bitefa , pod sloganom Na ivici budućnosti , biće na konceptu post- humanizma, u kontekstu sveta koji bi tre- balo da bude manje antropocentričan. To je vizija sveta nastala, između ostalog, i iz sve- sti o globalnoj ekološkoj krizi, te mogućoj kataklizmi, što su takođe teme festivala. Usko povezan sa tematskim je i estetski (formalni) fokus festivala. On se bavi dehumanizacijom tela izvo- đača u različitim oblicima – kroz koreografske postupke, svetlosne i video efekte, preko odsustva izvođača, njiho- vog digitalnog prisustva, do upotrebe robota i dronova na sceni. U glavnom programu biće organizovana brojna izvođenja četrnaest pozorišnih produkcija reditelja i ko- reografa iz Francuske, Belgije, Nemačke, Slovenije, Hr- vatske, Srbije, Irana i Meksika, Austrije i Čilea. U susret dvostrukom izdanju Bitefa

From 13 th to 25 th September, Belgrade will host the double 54 th /55 th editions of BITEF – the Belgrade International Theatre Festival, which couldn’t be staged to its full capacity last year due to the pandemic The thematic focus of the 54 th /55 th Bitef, under the slogan On the Edge of the Future, will be on the concept of posthumanism, in the context of a world that should shift to be less anthropocentric. This is a vision of the world that has emerged, among other things, from an awareness of the global environmental crisis and possible cataclysm, which are also themes of this year’s festival. The festival’s aesthetic (formal) focus is also close- ly tied to its thematic focus. It addresses the dehuman- isation of the bodies of the performers – through cho- reographic processes, lighting and video effects, via the complete absence of performers and their digital pres- ence, to the use of robots and drones on stage. The main programme will include numerous performances of 14 theatre productions, with directors and choreographers coming from Austria, Belgium, Chile, Croatia, France,
