About the performance

Mythical is a transdisciplinary performance where archetypal stories of fierce women intertwine with the stories of female prisoners. Mythical or Mitska? The former, obeying the rules of our society, or the latter, listening to her intuition and taking a risk.

The prison can be many things, an abyss or a school, and behind its walls there are beings not so different from us. Whether they are heroes or antiheroes, the shadow of a savage keeps crawling behind them on all fours, and the stigma lurking in the distance.

Mythical is a piece / performance / concert which includes elements of dance and puppetry, challenging its creators to explore the potential of their primary disciplines and install their work into the scenic atrium of the Old Power Station.

*The text is summarized from the webpage of the performance.

"Through a non-chronological narrative that shifts between the past, the hypothetical future, the moment, desires and regret, we get thoroughly acquainted with two concrete stories and the psychological impact on two people living parallel lives: the ‘usual’ one, frozen in a moment when one enters prison and the constricted existence that really is just that, a bare life." (Živa Kadunc, Neodvisni, 25 November 2020)
