YUGO

[Zürich, Switzerland]

“‘Yugo’ is: the old car of my grandfather, his legacy, a resemblance of stability, wisdom; an abbreviation for Yugoslavia, a country associated with socialist values and patriarchal norms; and a metaphor of my personal and collective identity shaped by war, migration, conflict, as well as a search for freedom.

The word “Yugo” itself embodies dualities—symbolising both stability and oppression, movement and entrapment, identity and erasure.”

Choreographed by Ivana Balbanova

Performed alongside Coko de Windt
