Concept / Description

In the performance of the body “Golden medal” Vesna Mačković, with the technical and coaching support of the carefully selected team, challenges several existential questions.

The evaluation of “games” in the concept of “bread and games” comes into question when games become superimposed, over-games and non-games. When games become a competition, idolatry and suicide. When games are no longer a game, they become more than games. They become less and less games until in time they completely disappear from their own definition, and the word “games” takes on a plethora of meanings.

In this performance, several gold medals and victory cups will be awarded. It is up to the audience to judge whether recognition and awards are correctly distributed.

The entire award ceremony will be accompanied, as befits, by stimulating fan music from the group Radost!.

The performance is announced by the appropriate music video of the newly created fan anthem performed by Vesna Mačković and ‘Radost!’ – the song ‘Kikiriki’.
