A poetic play about growing up, transformation and the search for one’s place in the world.
Meet Gargadenia, a curious girl who, like Alice in Wonderland, stumbles into a mysterious and surprising world of nature. Like the flowers around her, she wants to put down roots and find her place. But what does it really take to conquer a strange world?
BLOOOM is a delicate journey full of poetry, fantasy and surprising encounters. The play is about the power of enchantment and the magic of new beginnings. With captivating images and a touch of absurd humour, BLOOOM invites the audience to find themselves on Gargadenia’s journey. It is a play about growing up in uncertain times, balancing on uneven ground and how we can always put down new roots.
An invitation to enter unknown territory with light luggage and discover the wonder of growing up.
Age: 5 to 10 years
Duration: 50 minutes

This dance piece coincides with the 105th anniversary of the birth of Blaže Koneski. His standardization of the Macedonian language was a state-sanctioned act that, by its very nature, involved a process of selective forgetting. The sound design reflects this evolution: Koneski’s poetry serves as both the language and the raw recorded material, which the commissioned composer deconstructs and fragments. This sonic deconstruction poses a powerful question to the sanctioned linguistic memory: What had to be forgotten for this consensus to be passed?
