Caprice (re)lapse

»In Caprice as well as in Caprice (Re)lapse, Irena Tomažin continues in her familiar idiosyncratic way to move in between the voice and the movement, the dancing and the music. She’s lead mostly by her intimate need to use a different language of performing, and not so much to move in between different art forms and disciplines. And this is precisely, why her performances are so strong, intensive and open, the work of a real author. At the same time her pieces grab the viewer in an unexpected manner, one, which, with its experimental nature and tendencies is very unique in Slovenian art scene.

»Her voice is body-based, it rises, knits together and falls through bodily emotions, movements and feelings, and it is heard in and through the movement of her body and the space of scenography. The breadth of experimental capacity of Tomažin’s voice is at the same time physical, material, concrete and completely depending on her presence on the stage, her performing power and the intensity of the performing act itself.”
