Matea Bilosnić: Never Allone - performance 20.6.2025.

#guestperformance

The performance Never Allone by choreographer Matea Bilosnić returns to the Mediterranean Dance Center, where it was partially developed in 2024 as part of a residency program. This June, we witness it in its final form – mature, multilayered, and technologically ambitious.

The piece was selected among the TOP 20 AEROWAVES for 2025 – a prestigious European platform that, through collaboration with partners from 34 countries, annually highlights the most promising young choreographers and supports them in presenting their work to a broad European audience.

Matea Bilosnić is one of the most promising Croatian dance artists, with a strong and distinctive authorial voice that combines choreographic precision with introspective depth.
Never Allone is a compelling dialogue between body and machine, intimacy and construct, the organic and the artificial – a space where boundaries dissolve, and dance becomes a tool for posing questions about the future of the human and of movement itself.


ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE:

Never Allone is a choreographic journey within which the author treats dance as her personal time machine, allowing her to reflect on and reshape her past, as well as future – the spaces she visits the most. Spaces in which she lingers the longest.

This time, the journey continues in a technological environment, in which the other body is materialised through a heavy and solid metal frame with a transparent interior, thus opening up a space of shared vulnerability.

The fragility of the human body and its inevitable transience are in a dialogic relationship with the constraints of the inorganic. Is there a way to broach questions within this relationship, such as – What will remain after I’m gone? What remains after dance? And what precedes us?

And what sort of joint future can we even envision?

A dissolution of the dichotomy between the worlds we visit, into real and imaginary, possible and impossible, yours and theirs, and instead their overlapping, their infiltrations and mutual encroachments, is what builds the hybrid environment of this performance journey.
