Spider Festival
updated 9 hours ago
Defying categorical delineation, under the artistic direction of Matej Kejžar, the Spider project has come to be known as a festival of radical bodies. It is at once an "itinerant" contemporary dance and performing arts festival, a transnational artistic network, a platform for modular and transferable artistic projects and a potential for mobility and residencies. While its main production vehicle is the Ljubljana-based Pekinpah Association, the actual nodal points have included specific artistic communities based in Athens, Berlin, Brussels, Ljubljana, Lyon and Zagreb, among others, but the festival continuously weaves a web that grows and shifts, anticipating the newest currents in contemporary dance and hybrid performative art.
