20 Years of the Belgrade Dance Festival

The exhibition that celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Belgrade Dance Festival will be available from 12 to 23 September at the Barka Cultural Station, as part of the Kaleidoscope of Culture.

The opening of the exhibition will be on 12 September at 6 p.m., while the exhibition can be viewed every working day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Since the beginning of 2022, a group of young film artists has been working on collecting complete archival material, television, video, printed, and digital records that document the creation and development of the Belgrade Dance Festival over the past two decades. This is how the material was created, which consists of documentary films and videos, as well as collected photos and interviews with artists who made the festival visible and recognisable in the world.

Thanks to this festival, Belgrade and Novi Sad have become important stops included in the biography of artists who create trends in the field of artistic dance and theatre, as well as places where new productions are discovered, and well-known and young authors are presented with equal attention. At the time of the creation of the film material, the Festival is able to boast of over 550 choreographic pieces shown and over 500,000 people hosted in the auditoriums. In this sense, the authentic presentation of the technical realisation of the 19th and 20th Belgrade Dance Festival also has a clear goal to show an equal ambition to show aesthetically revolutionary pieces and artists whose works exceed the limits of the imaginable, as well as the best ballet traditions of renowned opera institutions, in one place.

The project is part of the ‘Artists. Now!’ national call for artists, launched by the ‘Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture’ Foundation within the Kaleidoscope of Culture.

From the very beginning, the implementation of the ‘Artists. Now!’ call has been supported by IDEA, which is part of the Mercator-S company.
The event is accessible to people with physical disabilities.
