Zoe Gudović - STOP – From Macho to Davičo

STOP – From Macho to Davičo is more than a performance – it is a call to action, a fusion of ballet, music, masks, avatars,and drag. It is a collective force, a precise and urgent presence that challenges us to rethink resistance, identity and movement.

On stage, Zed Zeldich Zed meets Dekadenca and in his dreams, Lujo Davičo appears to remind us that fascism still reigns, and we must act. Through ballet, words, and beats, STOP challenges the notion of individuality and invites us to reflect on movement, resistance, and unity. Inspired by Lujo Davičo – an anti-fascist, progressive artist – this performance calls for a new expression of love and resistance. This performance will be created by collective forces: Master of the mask Deborah Hunt challenges Miloš Lolić, renowned for his outstanding direction of classical drama. Anastasiia Vorobiova’s avatars expand our minds, while Ah Ahilej knocks on the doors with sound. Barbi Marković and Olja Alvir weave words, sentences, and passages, reveling in this writing adventure. Andrew Champlin affirms that ballet belongs here. Dekadenca believes that she can read in German – Natürlich – and Zed Zeldich Zed would love to rest, but Maria Elisabeth Herold insists: It’s time for resistance!

As part of the STOP project, we invite you to a workshop: VR & Avatar Workshop with Anastasiia Vorobiova.
