Based on choreographer Borut @Separovi}c’s dance performance ‘Everybody Goes To Disco From Moscow To San Francisco’, Martinis’s adaption invokes questions about the war in former Yugoslavia. The claustrophobic scenes in a bomb shelter in which two dancers seems to be amusing each other, are set diametrically against the detached dance steps being performed above ground in the solemn chambers of power where executions are imitated with icy precision. And yet ‘Ja te volim!’ at first seems to be dealing with another subject, namely the influence of western mass media - from CNN to MTV - on post-communist reality in the previous eastern bloc where the violence of daily life is sublimated in a game of basketball and where a Traci Lords clone comes into the living room using suggestive sign language. There is no way back. Sport is violence, love is death, sex is television, body is pain, contact is confrontation.
