HupaPERFORMANCE &
THEATER
Fantasy is no less real
than reality.
Kakor spodaj, tako zgoraj
“Pod površjem nekaj tli, pod površjem nekaj živi!”
Umetniški kolektiv Hupa Brajdič se pogreza v podzemlje podhoda Ajdovščina, ter s skupinskim umikom ustvarja prostor, kjer biva upanje. Trinajst performerk in performerjev trmasto vztraja in z glavo rine skozi zid. Ve se, da zgoraj brez spodaj ne obstaja, in če lahko izbiramo, smo mi raje tisti spodaj.
V eni od zapuščenih izložb nekdaj živahnega podhoda, se zdi, da je vsak up zaman. A upanja se ne da tako zlahka pokopati, četudi biva nekaj metrov pod zemljo. Med tistimi pozabljenimi, brezdomnimi in marginalnimi se Hupa Brajdič odene v kartonaste škatle in v pol ure trajajočem performansu odkriva kje, zakaj in kako obstaja upanje.

ČAROVNIŠKI BLUES ” 2017 – today
I came here to be a witch, and a witch I have become.
An interactive street music show for children and adults tells the story of a witch’s visit far from the north, from the town of Plamen, from where magic flows from around the world. Vodenka, Ognjenka, Zgodbarka, Zeliščarka, Ukanarka, Spremembnica, Klovnesa and Darovalka came into the modern world for three reasons: to remind children of magic, to invite them to enroll in the Magic School and to cast magic spells. The intertwining of physical and interactive theater, music, singing and magic.

FOUND IN TRANSLATION ” 2017
co-production
I just want to be liked.
Found in translation is a dance project that explores the meanings that are lost, overlooked, found or added in our subjective interpretations of the information we receive in everyday communication. Through a movement method which allows free association of the body Kristina and Ferndando are searching for those elements in our communication that remain hidden. They are trying to create a place where personal and interpersonal finally meet.

GERHARD ” 2009
Trapped in a possible premonition.
Theatrical-movement satire about contemporary conflict, about being trapped in a premonition of the possible and the weight of the unspeakable. Gerhard lies between dreams and reality, between stand-up art and writing cheap ads, Gerhard is a troubled extreme, a man with a vivid imagination, a touch of talent and a fear of performing.

TELEGRAM FOR GAJA ” 2006
The path of creative thought.
The theatrical-movement performance provides an answer to the eternal human question of the meaning and origin of his existence; two cosmic forces (gods), depicted in human form, create the Earth according to the instructions in the manual “How to create the Earth in five strokes”. They circumvent the rules written in the book and start a web of unpredictable events, in which they themselves become entangled.
