Neki od razloga za slogan Na ivici budućnosti jesu ekološka kriza, klimatske promene, zagađenje vazduha i svi problemi koji ih prate. To je i glavna tema ovogodišnjeg Bitefa
Some of the reasons for the slogan Edge of the future include the ecological crisis, climate change, air pollution and all associated problems. That’s also the main topic of this year’s Bitef
Teme iz kojih je proistekao ovogodišnji Bitef kre- ću se u rasponu od najurgentnijeg globalnog pro- blema današnjice, klimatskih promena, uništenja ekosistema, do projekcije „sveta posle“, sveta koji u savremenoj teoriji neki mislioci nazivaju posthuma- nizmom i transhumanizmom. U teorijskom smislu, Ivan Medenica, umetnički direktor i selektor Bitefa , kaže da ove pojmove shvata kako ih određuje Keri Vulf: transhumanizam kao intenziviranje humani- stičkih ideala u vidu tehnološke nadogradnje čove- ka, a posthumanizam kao kritiku takvog, u osnovi i dalje antropocentričnog koncepta, zarad ideje ob- nove prirodne ravnoteže. Dramaturgija festivala osmišljena je tako da se, kao i uvek u poslednjih nekoliko godina, pre svečanog otvaranja dešava dan Prologa, s predstavom koja nas uvodi u neke od tema i izvođačkih praksi na kojima se zasniva koncept aktuelnog izdanja. Ove godine bi- će čak dva dana Prologa, sa dve takve predstave, obe u produkciji ili koprodukciji Beogradskog dramskog pozorišta – Cement Beograd (režija Sebastijan Hor- vat) i Living room , čija će premijera biti upravo na festivalu (režija Ersan Montag, koprodukcija s Bitef teatrom). Bitef je na ovaj način želeo da skrene pa- žnju na programski uzlet i izrazi podršku tom uzletu koji je u poslednjih godinu dana doživelo Beogradsko dramsko pozorište. Taj uzlet je išao upravo u prav- cu onoga što se kolokvijalno naziva bitefovskim ten- dencijama, zbog čega priču o Bitefu nastavljamo sa Jugom Radivojevićem, direktorom BDP-a.
Germany, Iran, Mexico and Slovenia, as well as Serbia. The topics that form the core of this year’s Bitef span from today’s most urgent global problems, climate change and the destruction of ecosystems, to the projection of the “world after”, a world that some thinkers of contem- porary theory dub posthumanism and transhumanism. In a theoretical sense, Bitef Artistic Director and Selector Ivan Medenica says that he understands these notions as they are defined by Cary Wolfe: transhumanism as an intensification of humanistic ideals in the sense of tech- nological “upgrade” of man, and posthumanism as a cri- tique of such an essentially still anthropogenic concept, in favour of the idea of the renewal of the natural balance. The dramatic composition of the festival is devised in such a way that - as has always been the case in recent years - the formal opening ceremony is preceded by the Prologue Day, with a play that introduces us to some of the topics and performance practises that form the ba- sis of the current edition’s concept. However, this year there will actually be two prologue days, with two such plays, both of which are produced, or co-produced, by the Belgrade Drama Theatre: Cement Belgrade (directed by Sebastijan Horvat) and Living room, which will have its premiere performance at the festival (directed by Ersan Mondtag and co-produced in conjunction with Bitef The- atre). Bitef has thus sought to draw attention to, and ex- press support for, the rise in programming experienced by the Belgrade Drama Theatre over the last year; a rise that has progressed precisely in the direction of what are colloquially referred to as “Bitef’s tendencies”. And that’s also why we’re continuing the story of Bitef in conversa- tion with BDT Director Jug Radivojević.
