Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:
"Body Confessions" is a solo dance piece by Aleksander Zain. It represents an intimate confession of an artist’s relation to his own body, as well as other things in life that are touched or influenced in any way by that relation. Through three parts of the piece, we can see the contrast of body relation that has been indicated to us through society, and relation to one’s own body that is personal and selfknowing.
The piece premiered on May 17th 2021 (IDAHOBIT) at Center for Cultural Decontamination in Belgrade (Serbia). Further on it was shown in other theaters in Belgrade (Bitef theater, Heartefact House, etc.), different cities in Serbia (Novi Sad, Pančevo), as well as in Timisoara (Romania), and Berlin (Germany). The documentation of Body Confessions was exhibited in 2024/25 in the Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb (Croatia) during the exhibition by Nomad Dance Academy –(Non)Aligned Movements, and is recognized as one of the important pieces with queer thematics in the Balkan dance scene.
