@Cukrarna Gallery, Ljubljana

Beginning in April, the basement exhibition space at Cukrarna Gallery will become the setting for a project by the group Laibach.

The UNTERNEHMEN BARBAROSSA project intertwines themes and visuals from Nikolaj Pirnat's partisan graphics with reference to Picasso’s Guernica, and the story of an Afghan family from Kabul who wove a carpet based on a sketch provided by the group. A recreation of Laibach's historic 1983 concert at the Music Biennale Zagreb—an event that led to their ban from 1983 to 1987—will be performed.

In collaboration with scientists from the MOSAiC expedition, the musical instrument KLIMATON ARCTIC was created — a resonating body of the Arctic. The landscape itself becomes the composer, its disappearance the score. But how do you play a dying world?

Listening becomes a radical gesture - an attempt to intertwine with the landscape, which is the thermometer of the earth. The evening is a collective approach to the irretrievable.

Sound artists such as Kirsten Reese, Tengal Drilon & Mo’ong, Daniel Dominguez Teruel and Thies Mynther will breathe, touch, rage, and lament with the instrument… Soundscapes oscillating between requiem, ecological and political meditations, and raw noise — an acoustic cartography of decay.

Texts by Heike Geißler, Sivan Ben Yishai and Adnan Softić flicker like marginal notes of weltschmerz, while the video projections by the duo Komposter transform the performance into an archive of data melancholy.

Video scenography

LAST PRAYER is a multimedia performance by Evy Schubert that develops a new form of contemporary drama from digital imagery and social media content. Every day, we are flooded with media images of horror, of old and new crises: Wars, disasters and of the ongoing destruction of our planet. Apocalyptic imagery. Against this backdrop – and as an alternative – visual escapism sells itself: natural idylls, images of contemplation. The digital celebrates the beauty of the planet during its demise. It contrasts the finiteness of life with the infinity of image creation.

"The peculiar proximity between the words history and hysteria, between nation and narration, nazism and narcissism or ethics and aesthetics is not a coincidental play on words in this story"

A piece of the project "Kreativ Inklusiv" in collaboration with the Ensemble Angestrahlt

"Kreativ Inklusiv" explores with young people how access to theatre can be designed in a barrier-free and participatory way, with content revolving around the questions: What is normal and who actually gets to determine that?! How can we come together in a space full of barriers and challenges? How can we understand each other without language? How can we hold each other, without effort?

With the support of creative captioning, simple language, image-based communication and pedagogical assistance, we bring together what belongs together: theatre-loving people with and without disabilities who, with their diverse abilities, kick the concept of "normal" right in the butt.

The concurrent artistic careers of G. Ligeti and J. Beuys have instilled a desire in Vollmaier for cooperation and new creation inspired by their artistic outputs. On the one hand, this was Ligeti's "extreme electronic" approach to the acoustic instrument and, on the other hand, Beuys' concept of tearing down the wall between life and art.

Performed in Cankarjev dom’s Gallus Hall on the centenary of the composer’s birth. Three Ligeti’s piano compositions have been selected. Vollmaier will perform two variations on each composition, using both contemporary and classical musical techniques to create a sonically and visually enhanced acoustic/electronic performance art.
