In frame of International Dance Day 2024, Art Alive collaborates with the Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb, the Austrian Cultural Forum, and the Croatian Dancers Association creating a performative dialogue. Art Alive´s founder and performance artist Aldina Topcagic cooperates with soprano soloist Margareta Klobucar, tenor Ino Klasan, and cellist Vid Krpan to create a fusion of movement, singing, spoken word, and music. This symbiotic interplay resonates not only among the artists but also with museum visitors and the ambient surroundings. Their intervention heightens the audience's perception and stimulates their senses. 

The performance artist employs real-time performance, characterized by its live unfolding in the present moment, free from predetermined elements. This approach creates an interactive experience for museum visitors, involving improvisation and spontaneity, leading to a unique outcome. With no predetermined steps, the performer creates an environment of unpredictability, inviting viewers to be fully present and therefore opening up a space for reflection.

The artists open up resonating spaces, interwining movement, voice, musical expression, and spoken word, delving into themes of love, war, violence, peace, and faith - our realities, our deepest struggles and desires.
