VLATKA HORVAT + GUESTS (HR/GB/US) 15th Extraordinary Congress
In 15th Extraordinary Congress, seven women sit at a table, exchanging stories and anecdotes, facts and rumours, reflections and thoughts about a country in which all of them grew up but which no longer exists. Sifting through their shared memories as well as through versions of events remembered and understood differently, they try to unpack the story of Yugoslavia from a range of different perspectives.
Through an improvised exchange over several hours, they recount events large and small, excavating bits of shared history from realms both political and personal. The piece unfolds a complex narrative in which contradictions and inconsistencies sit side by side – decidedly unresolved and open – in a state of tension, dialogue and play.
