Love will tear us apart
Love Will Tear Us Apart is a solo that combines the elements of a rock concert, confessional form, and abstract dance. It is also the first part of Saša Božić’s and Petra Hrašćanec’s trilogy that explores the relationship between contemporary dance and popular music (Love Will Tear Us Apart / Boys Don’t Cry / the_beatles). The “love” from the title is transferred into a love for dance itself.

Love will tear us apart
Love Will Tear Us Apart is a solo that combines the elements of a rock concert, confessional form, and abstract dance. It is also the first part of Saša Božić’s and Petra Hrašćanec’s trilogy that explores the relationship between contemporary dance and popular music (Love Will Tear Us Apart / Boys Don’t Cry / the_beatles). The “love” from the title is transferred into a love for dance itself.
The performer presents dance routines to selected post-punk and rock love songs, while in the pauses we hear seemingly trivial details about the production, details that gradually unravel a subtle web of power relations that shape this act. The dancer, Petra Hrašćanec, was awarded the Croatian Theatre Award in 2012 for Best Dance Performance for her role in the performance.
The solo has been performed in many Croatian and international festivals, such as Week of Contemporary Dance (Zagreb, 2011 and 2012), Festival of Dance and Non-Verbal Theatre (Savičenta, 2011), Barutana 011 and 012 Program (Osijek, 2011 and 2012), Monoplay Festival (Zadar, 2011), Art Workshop Lazareti (Dubrovnik, 2011, 2012, 2013), ITD Theatre repertoire (Zagreb, 2011/2012 season), Croatian Dance Scene Showcase (Zagreb, 2011), City to City Cabaret (Zagreb, 2012), IETM Zagreb (2012), WAM Festival (Faenza, Italy, 2012), Théâtre de Colombier – Croatie, la voici program, curated by Rencontres Chorégraphiques Internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis (Paris, 2012), Uovo Festival (Milan, Italy, 2013).
