Beauty - ugliness, courage - fear, strength - weakness, love - hate, light - shadow ... art as a voice. Nothing is omitted, nothing is frowned ... uncompromising, observing, demonstrate, straight.

• Bernie Rothauer & Xandra/Heartgun – For over 30 years Bernie Rothauer has worked as an independent musician, has been on stage with many personalities and has dealt with West African, Afro-Brazilian as well as Afro-Cuban rhythm. Whether on guitar or drums, teaching or performing: tones, sounds, rhythms are part of his life. Xandra has been moving in the music wonderland for several years. The artistic work gives her the opportunity to work intensively, brightly and with all senses. Voice, hearing, body, mind – everything is needed, stressed, challenged.
Solo participativ, 45'
The performance strongly emphasizes the feeling of being left alone, although the memory of togetherness is still very present. The exploration of the relationship between the two leads to the discovery of new possibilities to change the absence. The void provides a platform for the joint creation of a duet between Jerca Rožnik Novak and the fictional Veronika.

Duo, 30'
A slackline, a musician and repetitive motion. A dancer explores Feldenkrais’ self-movement as the key to self-preservation. In her immediate surrounding, her body searches for regulating constants in order to take on new forms and functions.
