MATRIX (2018)
Premiere: January 27th, 2019
Venue: Cultural Center, Đakovo
(MATRIX was also performed at the Karlovac Dance Festival in April 2018, and in Croatian National
Theatre in October 2019 in Zadar.)
Directed by: Marija Šćekić
INFO
Matrix is a full evening audio visual dance show, modeled after the eponymous film “Matrix”,
performed by twenty students of the Marija Šćekić’s School of Natural Movement. MATRIX is a "silent
revolution", a way out situation in which the Šibenik children found themselves after completing
their elementary dance school and had no further options to continue with their dance education in
the City of Šibenik.
The play depicts conscious machines (puppets) in the bodies of children who have rebelled against
stereotypes, prejudices and formalities. By gradually discarding their black dark coats, their masks
disappear and the puppets become people with sincere children's hearts, erasing the boundary of the
real and the unreal (in the stage, artistic, creative and human sense of the word).
These are minors who, with their stage maturity, focus and dance performance, do not deviate much
from any other professional ensemble in the country and beyond.
