2026

This co-production project, developed by two partners within the Moving Balkans network, brings together five dancers from En–Knap Group and five dancers selected by the Contemporary Dance Association Slovenia. For this occasion, choreographer Sofia Mavragani has been invited to reimagine her epic choreographic work for an expanded ensemble of ten dancers. Through the VR360 experience, the audience enters the fluid choreographic landscape from within, encountering the work’s shifting relations of distance, exposure, and collectivity firsthand.

Glorious Epic Wet is a stormy choreographic work that reimagines heroism in a time of instability. The performance dissolves the singular hero into a shifting collective body. In this landscape, glory is no longer monumental; it arises in interconnectedness, shared endurance, and fleeting solidarities within uncertain terrain. At its core lies a pressing question: who carries the burden of collapse? As dominant narratives of power erode, the sovereign figure gives way to a fragile plurality negotiating survival together.

Glorious Epic Wet is a state of being — a proposed mindset. A way of seeing that allows us to recognize glory and epicness in the small and often unnoticed: in fleeting moments, subtle connections, and everyday gestures we tend to overlook while waiting for something 'bigger' to happen.
