EnKnapGroup: ‘68 – contemporary dance8 Oct, 20:00, Španski borci cultural centre

’68, a dance diptych created by the choreographers Rosana Hribar, Gregor Luštek, and Csaba Molnár based on a concept provided by the internationally renowned Slovenian dancer and choreographer Iztok Kovač, takes you back to the revolutionary year of 1968 and the time of the uprising against capitalism and the repressive political elites. The themes relevant in 1968 continue to be inspiring today, which is clearly reflected in the present-day relevance of the slogans on the banners of the time. In this spirit, the EnKanpGroup’s dance production returns to the questions surrounding the events of 1968: How to rebel? What can we change?
