Description
I. in IV. dejanje potencialno neskončnega cikla vizualnega pripovedovanja zgodb
Nit brez konca je vedno razvijajoči se in potencialno neskončen pripovedni performativni cikel Ane Čavić, v katerem se mitopoeična stvaritvena zgodba o dveh arhetipskih likih – ženski in antropomorfni lisici – razpleta v štirih do zdaj izvedenih prizorih (I–IV), kot nit brez konca.
Čavićin “vizualni performativni storytelling” je sodobna interpretacija cantastorie, tradicionalne gledališke pripovedne oblike, v kateri pripovedovalec pripoveduje zgodbo, medtem ko kaže na vizualni pripomoček, ki hkrati ilustrira pripoved in jo spodbuja, saj deluje kot mnemotehnična naprava – »zemljevid zgodbe«. V vsakem prizoru Nit brez konca Čavić na podoben način uporabi vizualne pripomočke, da občinstvo vodi skozi štiri različne zemljevide zgodb: analogno ročno poslikano veliko-formatno svitek (I. dejanje), digitalno obdelano risbo s svinčnikom v obliki velike zemljevidne plošče (II. dejanje), digitalno nadgrajeno papirnato gledališče (III. dejanje) in komplet zložljivih pahljač (IV. dejanje). Ob tem se Čavić obrača k novim, digitalno nadgrajenim možnostim pripovedovanja zgodb. V II. dejanju in III. dejanju ponovno zamišlja digitalne tehnologije kot podaljšek in obogatitev svojih performansov z uvajanjem digitalnih zvočnih krajin, ki se sprožijo z dotikom in gesto.
O avtorici:
Ana Čavić je vizualna umetnica, pesnica, performativna pripovedovalka zgodb in akademikinja. Njena interdisciplinarna praksa združuje vizualne, uprizoritvene in literarne umetnosti ter se razteza čez različna področja in medije, vključno z umetnostjo, literaturo in gledališčem. Ustvarja cut-up poezijo, kolaže, papirne izreze, umetniške publikacije, digitalne poetične animacije, interaktivne pesniške objekte in gledališke performativne pripovedi. Njeno eklektično delo tematsko povezuje trajno zanimanje za predstavitev ženskih naracij, ki ga podpira njeno stalno raziskovanje ženskih likov v ustnem izročilu in literaturi.
Kot sodobna performativna pripovedovalka zgodb, ki sledi fabulistični tradiciji, ustvarja izvirne zgodbe, ki jih spremljajo razkošne vizualije – na papirju ali na odru. Od leta 2017 razstavlja in izvaja Nit brez konca, tekoči cikel gledaliških pripovednih performansov v različnih analognih in digitalno nadgrajenih formatih. Sprva je delovala v Združenem kraljestvu, po selitvi v Slovenijo leta 2019 pa razstavlja tudi doma, nazadnje na Trienalu EKO (UGM, Maribor) in Trienalu U3 (MG+, Ljubljana), še naprej pa razstavlja in nastopa tako doma kot v tujini. Leta 2023 je izdala svojo prvo knjigo Mythopoeias (Rostfrei Publishing), hibridno knjigo poezije in kolaža, ki prinaša sodobne reinterpretacije zgodb o ženskih likih iz mitov, legend, ljudskih in pravljic z vsega sveta. Je prejemnica umetniških in raziskovalnih štipendij, med drugim SqW:Lab Fellowship (Mumbai, 2020) in Onassis Foundation International Cavafy Summer School (Atene, 2023).
Diplomirala je iz likovne umetnosti (2008) na Slade School of Art, UCL (London, VB) in doktorirala iz umetnosti (2024) na Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton (Southampton, VB), kjer je raziskovala zgodovinske in sodobne tradicije pripovednega performansa cantastoria.

Acts I. and IV. of a potential never ending visual storytelling cycle
A thread without end, is Čavić’s ever evolving and potentially never-ending performance storytelling cycle in which a mythopoetic creation story about two archetypal characters, a woman and an anthropomorphic fox, unravels across four discrete performances to date (Act I-IV), like a thread without an end.
Čavić’s “visual performance storytelling” is a contemporary interpretation of cantastoria, a traditional theatrical storytelling style in which the performer tells a story while pointing to a visual aid that both illustrates the narrative and prompts the performance by serving as a mnemonic device – a ‘story map’. In each act of A thread without end Čavić similarly uses visual aids to guide the audience through four different story maps: an analogue large-format hand-painted scroll (Act I), a digitally enhanced graphite drawing in the shape of a large, tiled map (Act II), a digitally augmented paper-cut theatre (Act III), and a set of folding hand fans (Act IV). At the same time, Čavić turns towards new, digitally augmented storytelling possibilities. In Act II and Act III, she re-images digital technologies as an extension and enhancement of her performances by introducing digital soundscapes triggered by touch and gesture.
About the author:
Ana Čavić is a visual artist, poet, performance storyteller and academic. Her interdisciplinary practice combines visual, performing and literary arts and she works across different media and fields, including art, literature and theatre. She creates cut-up poetry, collages, papercuts, artist publications, digital poetry animations, interactive poem objects and theatrical storytelling performances. Her eclectic practice is unified thematically through her sustained interest in presenting female narratives, informed by her continuing research into female characterisation in orature and literature.
As a contemporary performance storyteller following in the fabulist tradition, she creates original stories accompanied by sumptuous visuals – whether on the page or the stage. Since 2017, she has been exhibiting and performing A thread without end, an ongoing cycle of theatrical storytelling performances in various analogue and digitally augmented formats. Originally based in the UK, since moving to Slovenia in 2019 she has exhibited locally, most recently participating in the EKO Triennial (UGM, Maribor) and the U3 Triennial (MG+, Ljubljana), and continues to exhibit and perform both nationally and internationally. In 2023, she published her first book, Mythopoeias (Rostfrei Publishing), a hybrid book of poetry and collage featuring contemporary reinterpretations of stories about female characters from myths, legends, folk tales and fairy tales from around the world. She is the recipient of artistic and research fellowships and scholarships, including the SqW:Lab Fellowship (Mumbai, 2020) and the Onassis Foundation International Cavafy Summer School (Athens, 2023).
She has a BA in Fine Art (2008) from the Slade School of Art, UCL (London, UK) and a PhD in Art (2024) from Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton (Southampton, UK) researching historical and contemporary cantastoria performance storytelling traditions.
