Kviropisje

Kviropisje are literary events where we are open to all literary genres of queer or LGBTQIA+ expression: poetry, prose, drama, translated queer work, screenwriting, performance, musical texts (and musical performances!), essays, diaries, and so on. The series of events was launched in 2023 due to the conclusion of Mavrični rima at Klub Tiffany, and since then Kviropisje has hosted a multitude of Slovenian and foreign queer authors. The events take place approximately once a month and a half and the lineup of performers is a mix of invited and registered authors.

Their poetry will be read by Lea Aymard, Ana Štular, Tanja Matijašević, Neja Repe, Špela Setničar, Anamaria Varga, Gea Stošicki, Angela Steiner after the break, Anamaria Bagarić with Pavla Zabret.

After March’s Kviropisje, which will be held in collaboration with Rdeči zorami and will feature only invited artists, Kviropisje will take place again at the end of April/beginning of May – register now!

Too Much of Me Hides in the World, Too Much of the World Hides in Me is a contemporary dance performance in which dance, sound, and voice meet in various nuances.⁣⁣ Anamaria Bagarić (authorship and dance) this time in collaboration with 𝐏𝐚𝐯𝐥a 𝐙𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐭.⁣⁣

/ … /
we fill our mouths with clogs
because we don’t know how to turn the palms of our hands
so that they turn their backs expressively enough
/ … /
Pavla Zabret

The substance and movement of the performance are the result of various techniques written in the body – dance, expressive, and somatic, with the main guideline being the expression and philosophy of buta. If the philosophy of butoh dance offers a movement starting point, then another, performance starting point is offered by the graffiti of the poet and director Eva Kokalj: ‘Too Much of Me Hides in the World, Too Much of the World Hides’

Lea Aymard is an activist, artist, videographer, personal assistant, and mother of two. Lea was born in 1980 in France, where she worked in the field of culture and social work. In 2006, she moved to Slovenia and became a videographer. In 2018, she came out publicly as a trans activist and joined the TransAction Institute. Since 2024, she has been a personal assistant and has participated in various cultural projects.

Ana Štular, now 18, could legally buy alcohol, but unfortunately, she doesn’t feel like it. She is involved in modern dance, writing poetry, slam poetry, and playing the clarinet, and starting this year she is a little more serious about school, socializing, and chatting. She loves coffee and coffee and chocolates and sweets and music and art galleries and theater and many other things, and tries to hate as little as possible.

Tanja Matijašević, born in 1983, Jesenice, is primarily interested in the fields of literature, performance, improvisational theatre, and questioning social engagement for the time in which they are created. She creates podcasts (ORO, Literary Voices, 3 things). She runs the Lesbian Quarter, where Dragi Drago was revived last year – a royal menswear cabaret in which she wears the sayings of Stanislav Češplja and the shoes of Zvezdan Antic. She describes herself as a woman who never runs out of words. “As long as we have such people around us who are sobbing when you eat a roll on a stick, we have to laugh,” she would comment on the times we spent in quarantine. Otherwise, “it’s not, it’s not”: she is also a member of the improv collective Sile na klancu. In principle, her first poetry collection will be available for reading next year.

Špela Setničar je radijska napovedovalka, voditeljica, scenaristka in pesnica. Zaključuje vzporedni magistrski študij na AGRFT in Filozofski fakulteti. Sinhronizira celovečerne animirane filme, »reklame za luksuzne avtomobile, buržujske šampone« in občasno stopa po odrskih deskah gledališč. Lani je sredstva za razvoj na Slovenskem filmskem centru prejel njen avtorski scenarij za celovečerni film z naslovom: Magična bitja. V poeziji jo navdušuje iskreno pripovedovanje, največkrat osvobojeno metafor in olepševanj. Pesniške zanke rešuje s humorjem, prav tako tudi izzive, s katerimi se v življenju vseskozi srečuje – včasih, kot Angel Pornstar (pesničin alter ego), spet drugič, kot posameznica, ki se s svetom vedoželjno srečuje.

Anamaria Varga is a non-binary poet, performer, and restless communist. Her work moves between the cracks of society and explores how Western imperialism seeps into the most intimate corners of life. In her artistic creation, she blurs the boundaries between poetry and protest, recording the intersections of memory, the body, resistance, and the violence of capitalism and patriarchy. She fights against the dangerous migration policies of the European Union, patriarchy and the erasure of marginalized voices, and her art thus comes to life in the underground hum of protests – where poetry is a weapon and where every breath carries the weight of those who were not allowed to live.
Since 2019, she has lived and created in Brussels.

Gea Stošicki came into the world as a child who wanted to please everyone she saw, and now for several years she has been crawling around the world as she wants and behaves as is in her own interest. She writes poetry, guides retirees and students to gallery exhibitions, consults with fortune tellers from all walks of life, creates for Radio Študent and leads workshops for public speaking. In her free time, she likes to play the lady from the movie Home Alone who feeds the birds in the park – she likes to go to Tivoli and carry chickadees in her arms. Her personal principles are hippie in nature, while her poetry is more angry and socially critical. She is well-versed in theatrical practices from the Stanislavski System and loves to perform.

Anamaria Bagarić is an author, choreographer, and dancer. In Egypt, she presented her first solo work Dark Matter(s) (2017), and collaborated with the Cairo Opera House. In Slovenia, she regularly collaborates with the physical theatre collective Fourklor and projects in the field of contemporary dance and theatre. She is the author of the performances Prizma (2019), Kava, črna (2022) and Preveč mene se skrivna v svetu (2024).

Pavla Zabret, youth worker and educator, circus performer, and poet. Her beginnings originate in slam poetry, cabaret, and physical theatre. Today she is active in the collective Mismo Nismo, which works in the field of contemporary circus. She has been published in several anthologies and publications, and she performed her poetry in the solo dance performance Anamarie Bagarić: Too much of me is hidden in the world, too much of the world is hidden in me. With Nils Rošker, she co-created the noise-performative project Sv. Pavel in Nikoleta: Gutter sermons, and as a vocalist she performed in collaboration with producer Greg Kalinski.
