"Psiček nima repa več" je ples v krogu, kateremu manjkajo člani.
Je konotacija občutku izgubljenosti, nepovezanosti in prekinjene vezi s t. i. koreninami.
Stanje, ko se zdi, da je bilo nekaj ukradeno – nekaj veselega, migajočega.
Kjer se čuti razdrobljena celostjo telesa, kot da manjka okončina, podaljšek – ali rep.
Plesalki v predstavi ‘bosonogo’ vstopata v ljudski korak v iskanju razdrobljenih, izkoreninjenih delov sebe.
Na kakšen način lahko tradicijo in ljudsko izročilo negujeta, razvijata? Ali mora za voljo razvoja priti do male smrti plesalke ali do male smrti tradicije? Sta pripravljeni na to tveganje?
Morda želja po razumevanju tradicije izhaja iz stiske ob nerazumevanju sedanjosti.
In ali lahko človek razstavi sebe do najbolj osnovnega – do svojih primarnih potreb – ter tam najde krik po skupnosti?
Vesela tragika in nesklenjen krog vodita plesalki v prepleteno iskanje skupnega jezika, skupnega izraza – da bi v ljudskem izročilu našli nekaj svojega.
Hrepenenje po skupnosti, po delu celote.
Biti si blizu.
Hlastati za zrakom, a biti srečen.
Če ne drugega, vsaj za en ples.
"The little dog has lost its tail" is a dance in a circle that is missing members.
It carries a connotation of feeling lost and disconnected from one’s roots.
A state in which it seems like something has been stolen – something joyful, wagging.
Where the fragmented integrity of the body is felt, as if a limb, an extension, or a tail is missing.
In the performance, the dancers enter the folk step ‘barefoot’ in search of the scattered, uprooted parts of themselves.
How can tradition and folklore be nurtured and developed? Does progress require a little death of the dancer, or a little death of tradition? Are they ready to take that risk?
Perhaps the desire to understand tradition stems from the distress of not understanding the present. And can a person dismantle themselves to their most basic – to their primary needs – and there, find a cry for community?
Joyful tragedy and the unclosed circle lead the dancers into a tangled, intertwined search for a common language, a shared expression – to find something of their own within the folk heritage.
A longing for community, for being part of a whole.
To be close.
To gasp for air, and still be happy.
If nothing else, then at least for one dance.
