Quick Story by Sanja Nešković-Peršin and Branko Potocan springs out from this scene: Imagine a man on his way someplace, he tries to remember something, but he can’t. Immediately he will slow down. On the other side the person who tries to forget something, will move quicker, to get as far away from the experience as possible.
The dancers think that personal speed is an element of all our lives. It is a combination of life, past and future, the collective memories of the society we’re integrated into and the attempt to create our own fate, to hear what we really are. This tension is with us constantly. In every waking moment we feel the passing of time and live our everyday lives within sets of time “horizons”, moving endlessly just like the land moving past a speeding train.
Sanja Nešković-Peršin and Branko Potocan are two dancers with a special chemistry. She is educated within classical ballet, he with background from traditional folk dance, breakdance and sports. With this foundation their study of the personal pace is filled with contradictions.
