Iztok Kovač is a choreographer and founder of En–Knap. Following the international success of his solo How I Caught a Falcon (1991), he became one of the key figures in the development of Slovenian contemporary dance. He founded En–Knap Group, Slovenia's first permanent contemporary dance ensemble, and serves as artistic director of both En–Knap and the Španski borci Cultural Centre. His works have toured internationally for more than three decades. Additionally, his artistic practice includes six dance films, international pedagogical work, guest choreography and the direction of major national events in Slovenia. During the Covid period, he initiated Stage360, developing dance works in virtual reality.
Inspired by the popular children’s song by Marijan Vodopivec, the performance encourages young audiences to find courage in everyday situations—at home, at school and among friends—while playfully addressing the theme of bullying and violence. A pack of fierce hounds is terrorising the neighbourhood when they suddenly come face to face with the She-Devil. But, as the song warns, she is even more fearsome than the hounds themselves. What will happen next? Will the hairy troublemakers end up in the stew, or will they escape their fate? And how will the story end?
