SAD SAM LUCKY

MATIJA FERLIN, PULA (CROATIA)
Anchored in his culture and in the extremely contemporary nature of the unruly arts, Matija Ferlin will be presenting at the Festival two very dissimilar works of his Sad Sam series, “Now I am” in Croatian. Lucky is Sre?ko – Sre?ko Kosovel, the “Slovenian Rimbaud” who died in 1926 at age 22. A visionary poet, his confessional poetry rips through the veil of time to tune into the frequency of the performer Matija Ferlin in a meeting of soul mates. A unique opportunity to discover one of the most promising Balkan artists, and to take the measure of the powerful impact of his extraordinary presence. Remarkable, forthright physicality, words brimming with fire in a mystical solo-duo, stormy and physical.
