O predstavi
»selfed« je koreografski Prvenec PTL 2014 mladega belgijskega umetnika Kevina Trappeniersa, v katerem raziskuje metode prilagajanja telesa na mentalne in fizične pregrade in kako premostiti te ovire. Predstava vključuje tako filozofijo kot tehnike popularne urbane športno-plesne forme »Parkour« znotraj sodobnega plesa.
Koreografija preiskuje pojem energije jaza in samožrtvovanja. Jaz je mišljen kot orodje za introspekcijo in reprodukcijo, konstrukcijo in razgradnjo telesa in uma. Temu ustrezno 'selfed' razmišlja o pozicioniranju posameznika v odnosu do individualnih in družbenih struktur moči.
About the performance
»selfed« is Kevin Trappeniers’ choreographic debut in which he explores methods to adapt the body to mental and physical barriers and how to overcome those obstacles. The performance incorporates both the philosophy and techniques of Parkour within contemporary dance.
The choreography investigates the notion of the energy of self and self-sacrifice. The self meant as tool for introspection and reflexion, of demolition and construct of the body and the mind. Accordingly, selfed reflects on the positioning of a person towards individual and social power structures.

Odlomek iz kritike
»Plesni solo "selfed" po konceptu, koreografiji in vizualni podobi Kevina Trappeniersa je v drugem delu tudi v zrelosti plesne izvedbe Dagmar Dachauer zasijal kot dolgo pričakovan plesni dragulj te sezone - čisto, dovršeno in poetično se je gradila vizualna ter poglabljala miselna podoba.« (Daliborka Podboj, Parada plesa)
Excerpt from Press Review / Critic
»The dance solo "selfed" after the concept, choreography and visual image by Kevin Trappeniers in the second part, also in the maturity of dance execution by Dagmar Dachauer shone as a long-awaited dance gem of this season – purely, perfectly and poetically the visual image was building up and the mental image was deepening.“ (Daliborka Podboj, Parada plesa)
