opera BABA: The life and death of Stana
Concept and music: Karmina Šilec
Performers: KITKA and guests
BABA is inspired by the sworn virgins – the women who, after taking vows of chastity, adopt a man's name and identity, wear men's clothes, do men's work, smoke, drink rakia, play the gusle ... and join the men's world.
The music theatre will draw on anthropological research on this practice to develop a multi-faceted performative form.
Geolocated concert takes the listener through STIAS gardens. With the help of an application loaded on a smartphone, listeners follow the markings on the map. When enter to locations marked with a circle - the musical content is triggered. First edition of geolocated concert encompasses works by women composers, created in the last 1,200 years.
BABA collection
Šema elektro is a canvas on which the contents of society's consciousness, its beliefs, the history and the present, knowledge and delusions are projected. It reminds us of the narrow-mindedness of the society that condemns every step and every action; it sang praises to women with a vocabulary adorned with the notions such as tradition, family, honour, and dignity, and hiding mythomania and misogyny behind them.
