Alice in WonderBand

SAT 27.04

Alice in WonderBand is a duo of performers bringing together world music and odd beats from the Balkans with body music and body percussion. Ana Vrbaški and Marko Dinjaški are performing on stage in theaters and concerts and are a couple in life living in nature, near Fruška gora National park.

Their unique lifestyle brings music in connection with the body and nature. Performances are vibrating and rhythmic, powerful and energetic, a crossroads of dance, stage movement and music. Deep, primordial experience takes the audience on a journey through the Balkans as well as to the depths of the being. Performers create a singing and clapping community with the audience, feeling rooted, grounded and inspired.

The band performs songs in eleven languages, around Europe and the ex-Yugoslav region. They prove that in the eternally stormy Balkan area there is a unity through culture, music, movement, which brings understanding and reconciliation.

 

Body music workshop

The workshop will be intertwined with the concert of Balkan body music of Alice in WonderBand, Ana and Marko, Serbian duo of performers and teachers. They’ll share some odd and even beats and enjoy the power of music to bring the people together.

Open workshop of body music for all ages:
Dive into the world of clapping, snapping and stomping, where every little sound the body makes can combine into a symphony. We will move and grove, partnering with friends and new acquaintances at Balkan Trafik festival, singing and shouting together. Body percussion and body music are a tool that anyone can use. Let’s make music by dancing!
