Everything got cancelled (shows, tours, exhibitions, residencies, studio work...).
With no help from the institutions and no way to perform at public events, we won't last long...

What happens when you touch it

Published on February 13, 2016

I had the chance to work closely with the dancers of EnKnapGroup and compose and produce the soundtrack of their dance show "What happens when you touch it?", as well as the soundtrack of the teaser of the show.

’All of a sudden the sun began to shine so strongly that the sunshine broke through the clouds and it ripped the ground and it went through my face, leaving a hole through my head. I felt no pain and actually I could touch the sunbeam. I took it out from my head and it became a laser sword…’

‘What happens when you touch it’ is a performance, which plays between the physical and the mental, moving from the rational, linear, logical world into the world of the imagination. It is a game of impossibilities and warped reality filled with personal and collective consciousness and sub consciousness, where the stage is transformed into a fragmented door to another world. We communicate our thoughts, ideas and wishes, our non-sense, our illogical stories, the absurdity that keeps us sane, the unrealised wishes, the hidden aggression, the luminescent beauty, the gory details and bizarre connections, the obsessions, the worst-case scenarios and the superhuman abilities. Welcome to the playground of our minds. How does it look through your eyes?

EnKnapGroup, Ljubljana-based dance company, called me to collaborate as a music composer and sound designer, on a new contemporary dance show: “What happens when you touch it”. The dancers are the wonderful: Bencei Mezei, Ida Hellsten and Luke Thomas Dunne. I was very happy to work with Iztok Kovač‘s dancers for several months and finally we had the première on February 13th 2014 in Spanski borci Theatre.
