Tomaž Simatović Fragments (A mo(u)rning body ritual)
Performance, 60‘

With Fragments the artist deals with death and grief as daily companions. How to mourn? What to do with the fragments that remain? Using materials that capture his dog at play with wood, a symbol of renewal and replenishment, Tomaž Simatović creates an environment for a ritual in his memory. He shares with us a kinaesthetic score that he practiced throughout the last three years in response to personal and collective losses, both as a morning as well as a mo(u)rning body ritual.

Tomaž Simatović is a dancer, performing artist, pedagogue, and a choreographer, based in Salzburg. He studied contemporary dance at Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance, and received his MA in choreography at ArtEZ Arnhem. Since 2020 he has been developing artistic work in the frame of Laboratory for Participative Imaginaries, together with András Meszerics, with focus on social and political topics and audience participation.
