Dance solo Roberta Again is an unusual and precious dance work by the Croatian dancer and choreographer Roberta Milevoj. In it, the author chooses some key characteristics and categories of the cultural landscape from which contemporary dance sprouted in the beginning of the 20th century (nature, expression, emotion, sensuality) so she can rethink them and re-form them using their contemporary correspondences. Using the spatial volume, expanded and reinforced with movement, light and music, the author introduced time into this solo that is not merely personal, but captures the period of historic changes for human bodies and their percepts and along with this also for choreographic categories (e.g. expressionist category of image in space) and problems. After a century of movement, these are recognizable, yet very changed. The solo Roberta Again is a dark, contemplative and slightly rapturous dance piece, but it has its special grounds and weight, so it comes across as real, vulnerable and risky. Roberta Milevoj works in Croatia, currently the home of one of the liveliest, most ambitions, witty and creative contexts of contemporary dance in Europe.
The performance explores the possibilities for transforming the emotional experience of the natural into the artificial space of execution; the shift from one space to the other results in changes to the dance material itself. With a live soundtrack, the transformed dance material shapes a new perspective of the space and time of the performance itself.
