Mala terasa sredi Ljubljane: Marco de Ana: Stories of Birds (Historias de Pájaros)

The series Noches de Tablao is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, the City of Ljubljana and the Embassy of the Kingdom of Spain in Slovenia.
Humanity is a colony of diverse birds; there are black birds, white birds, singing birds and birds that keep quiet. Migratory birds, captive birds, thieving birds. Birds that are inseparable and those that prefer to live in promiscuous solitude. Through dance, gestures and the sound of their cries, they tell each other the stories of different living spaces and origins. Together, they are Historias de Pájaros (Stories of Birds).

In the language of the Chilean avant-garde poet, writer and visual artist Juan Luis Martínez, who looked to birds for his artistic fascination, it is a matter of allegory of bird behaviours and languages that are mirrored in the human one. Protagonists Marco de Ana and Urška Centa use dance to search for animalism, the simple and raw beauty of the bird movement, and communicate with the musicians in the movement of contemporary flamenco.
