How to express the idea of ​​nothingness through singing, dancing, speaking, performing and the intertwining of all of them – this is a research question that I am asking myself in my new solo project. I am interested in where an idea, tone, movement, word, thought comes from – and I am exploring this. The word that most clearly describes the origin of creation is the word Nothing. All I am trying to do is express my vision of a holistic work of art through one person – and give this idea movement and voice.

“That which is not guides me, I wanna go there where I’ve never been
That which is not defines me, what I am not I wish to become.
I wonder if ever nothing will find me…
Nothing to do, to know.”
Žigan Krajnčan

“That, who I am and what I am, does not define me. What I am is not what I want to become. I want to go where I’ve never been. I wonder if Nothing will ever find me. There is nothing I can know or do, because Nothing is the only thing I’m not afraid to talk about. Nothing can go wrong except Nothing.” edited by: Andreja Kopač
