ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

By creating the piece Momentum: Avenue of Captured Moments, Maša Kagao Knez continues the observation of one’s own and our common (co-)existence. Avenue is the movement that speaks, the voice that moves the space, the space that keeps thickening and thinning – depending on the amount of energy emitted by the (f)actors in the moment of presence of the Other. The Co-creator. The Spectator. Movement and voice inhabit a human body and cohabit in it. Like the meeting point of the interior and the exterior, the traditional and the contemporary, the past and the present, which is also where a moment is captured: the now.

FROM THE PRESS

DELO newspaper, dance performance critique:
This dance performance overcomes the clash between African and European homelands.
Similar to the “vocal” section, physical interactions are taking place between the excellent exposed dancers – Maša Kagao Knez, Dalanda Diallo and Gerard Diby – who are also retaining their individual “character of movement” at the intersection of contemporary and African dance. Momentum is a complex and beautifully delivered musical dance performance, distinguished by its creativity and innovation.” Mojca Kumerdej, DELO

Momentum is a moment
Maša Kagao Knez’s performance “Momentum” is more than “just” a performance.
Audience of the premiere in Cankarjev dom in Ljubljana fell in love with the show at first glance. The dancers, Maša Kagao Knez, Gerard Diby, Urša Rupnik, and – surprisingly – rapper Jose, accompanied by the (truly multi-musical) voice of Murat, Irena Yebuah Tiran and Leticia Slapnik Yebuah, form a perfect team in a show that is not to be missed. What else is there to say? We are just waiting for them to start receiving invitations to the world’s best dance and music festivals – they deserve to be there. Vito Tofaj, Zarja

Maša Kagao Knez – a choreographer of hope, beauty of companionship and living!
During the performance of “Momentum”, an avenue of captured moments
The choreographic work Momentum, Avenue of Captured Moments by Maša Kagao Knez is a contemporary dance-musical mosaic, a music that brings onto the scene a healthy deal of youthful inspiration and eager optimism through poetics of rhythm and movement. Choreographer Maša Kagao Knez has once again proved that she rules the stage with her artistic inspiration, that her choreographic language gets richer with every performance, that she is a choreographer of hope, of the beauty of socializing and living.” Daliborka Podboj, Parada Plesa
