Maša Kagao Knez (http://masakagaoknez.com) arrives at MPC as part of the M.A.M project, where she continues the research on existence and co-existence, which time puts in different perspectives with an emphasis on understanding and experiencing time. It's a dance-music show and a project that stems from her own experience of co-existence with her grandmother, with whom the author lived from her birth until grandmother's death. Based on observing her existence and doing, the author will explore different perceptions of time.

Through the relationship between dance and music, the author wants to seek harmony within an unconventional environment and to establish communication within the relationship between the two worlds, people, bodies and thoughts on the one hand, and communication of movement and sound on the other.

The center of the creative process is the integration of dance and music through the concept of different perception of time.

The M.A.M project includes participants:

Author, choreography, dance: Maša Kagao Knez
Dance, co-creation movement: Dalanda Diallo
Co-creation of music, actor, dramaturgy: Joseph Nzobandora - Jose
Co-creation of music, beatbox: Murat
Co-creation of music (opera singer): Irena Yebuah Tiran
Co-creation of music (percussionist, singer): Leticia Slapnik Yebuah

Author's earlier project 'LakeLess' with musician Murat is in a way conceptually similar to M.A.M, so we will have a chance to see it as an already finished performance in MPC. 'LakeLess' is important also because a workshop will be held earlier, on Friday, for everyone older than 10 years by the same two authors and performers.
