KLOWN

Klown is a multi-media dance piece created and performed by Mateja Bilosnić. Starting with the archetypal figures of a court jester and a clown, Bilosnić creates an authentic scenic personality, a neo-clown which combines the elements of contemporary dance, clownery, cabaret and pop-concert. Performing the text, music and movement playfully and with virtuosity, Klown questions the boundaries between reality and virtual reality. Entertaining herself and the audience, the author deals with the influence of social media on the mental health of an individual, the problem of artificial intelligence and digital revolution, and raises questions about awareness and truth. In this emotionally charged performance, Matea Bilosnić searches for the meaning of her existence, inviting the audience to do the same.
