Agmisterij (Final Performance)

60. Festival Borštnikovo srečanje: Klemen Kovačič on the Stage of the Ondina Otta Klasinc Hall

The Body as a Terrain of Memory

AGMISTERIJ is the author's/performer's reckoning with himself, unfolding as a one-time durational performance on his own body. It highlights the tension between the tangible, earthly, and everyday, and the sacred, poetic, and transcendent. With the desire to transcend his own individuality, he autobiographically looks to the past, laying out memories as a field for exploring universal questions: self-discovery as the search for meaning, memory as a fragile yet essential bearer of identity, solitude as the foundation of faith, and the unexpected transcendence found in the smallest moments of existence. Perhaps we were mistaken in imagining God as greater than ourselves.

In terms of expression, the performance merges two theatrical forms—durational performance and butoh—drawing on their essential quality: absolute presence. It is precisely in this radical immersion in the here and now that the possibility of transcending time and space, and entering another dimension, may emerge.
