A playground of the mind. The performance communicates thoughts, ideas, and wishes through non-sense, illogical stories, and the absurdity that keeps us sane. Unrealised wishes, hidden aggression, luminescent beauty, gory details and bizarre connections, obsessions, worst-case scenarios and superhuman abilities coexist in a fragmented space where reality becomes malleable.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TOUCH IT
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TOUCH IT — Studio Rehearsal Teaser, Španski borci, Ljubljana, February 2014
‘What Happens When You Touch It’ is a performance by EnKnapGroup that plays between the physical and the mental, moving from the rational, linear, logical world into the world of imagination. It is a game of impossibilities and warped reality filled with personal and collective consciousness and sub-consciousness, where the stage is transformed into a fragmented door to another world.
The performers communicate their thoughts, ideas and wishes, non-sense, illogical stories, and the absurdity that keeps us sane—unrealised wishes, hidden aggression, luminescent beauty, gory details and bizarre connections, obsessions, worst-case scenarios and superhuman abilities. A playground of the mind.
J3ZZ composed and produced the original score for the performance, creating a sonic landscape that navigates the fragmentation between rational thought and imagination, mirroring the performance’s exploration of consciousness and the subconscious.
Premiered February 13–14, 2014 at Španski borci, Ljubljana as a double bill with ‘What Remains’ by Ana Štefanec and Tamás Tuza. The performance was developed in collaboration with AVA – Akademija za vizualne umetnosti (Academy for Visual Arts).
