Damir Bartol Indos gilt als
Kultfigur der kroatischen Off-Theater-Szene.

Er wurde 1957 in Zagreb
geboren, studierte Philosophie an der Universität von Zagreb und arbeitet seit
1988 als freier Künstler mit verschiedenen nationalen und internationalen
Künstlern zusammen. Mit seinen Performances gastierte er auf einer Vielzahl internationaler
Festivals in Europa und Amerika. Nicht selten werden seine frühen Performances
von anderen kroatischen Off-Theatern aufgegriffen und zum Ausgangsmaterial
neuer Inszenierungen gemacht.

Damir Bartol Indos
Performance-Stil ist weder Tanz noch Theater zuzuordnen. Sein Spiel muss eher
als Ritual oder geheime Zeremonie bezeichnet werden. Es folgt keiner
klassischen Dramaturgie. Vielmehr bildet das Spannungsfeld zwischen
hingebungsvollem tranceartigem Spiel und bewusst gesetzten, äußerst komplexen Aktionen
und Bildern das Zentrum seiner Arbeiten. Dabei ist es oft der Körper des
Performers selbst, der diesen Gegensatz wiederspiegelt.

So steht auf der einen Seite
der sich total verausgabende, bis zur Erschöpfung getriebene Körper, und auf
der anderen Seite ein filigranes Spiel der Finger und Hände voll
geheimnisvoller Symbolik. Die sowohl inhaltlich als auch formal ästhetisch sehr
unterschiedlichen Arbeiten sind damit immer wieder geprägt von der
eigenwilligen und faszinierenden Körpersprache Damir Bartol Indos.

THROATMUSIC started by helge hinteregger in 2009.
hinteregger uses his larynx to create different sounds. a self created
microphone fixed outside of his larynx amplyfies the sounds. the created signal
is transformed afterwards through digital effect toys. the throat is used as
additional resonance body. no preprepared sounds or sampples are used.
