Choreography: Goran Bogdanovski Dance: Damjan Mohorko, Dejan Srhoj, Goran Tatar, Goran Bogdanovski, Gregor Luštek Music: Peter Penko, Brahms Premiere 15.1.2000, Ljubljana ficobalet.org 1:0 is the first personal production by Goran Bogdanovski, made in collaboration with four dancers, in which he explores the large and rounded Nothing around him, so empty that it almost breaks at its sutures. The Nothing with a value is unpredictable. The inspired, however, sees beyond the Nothing. There is longing, there is journey, and there is mystery. The common feature of all male dancers in the show is that they rely on the classical ballet technique. And the synonym for ballet is the dance a pointe. Men in classical ballet does not dance a pointe, but in the 1:0 production they do. 1:0 is a result from sport, for example from football. This is almost certain. But it can also be understood differently. Nought is the number without value, and one is still none. Neither the first position nor the second one deserves to be envied. Or? Nought is a soft, curved, warm, round, smiling, fooling number. One is sturdy and very serious. One is common sense; nought is wisdom. One is a bird in the hand; nought is two birds in the bush. Nought is an island far away in the unknown sea, and one is a ship that sails towards it... 1:0 is a dance performance moving on a very slippery ground between populism and Art. The dancers, versed in both classical ballet and contemporary dance, draw us into the world of their imagination, transforming the stage into a stadium. In 1:0 ballet shoes are exchanged for football shoes.
