“It takes a lot of determination — to say nothing of time and money — to import an entire festival from Eastern Europe to NYC, but that's exactly what Zvonimir Dobrović has done. Started by Dobrović in 2009 in Croatia, Perforations brings together artists working outside of the Balkan region's domineering state-sponsored system. Apparently, a hotbed of activity was fermenting behind the shreds of the Iron Curtain: at LaMama, look for dance and theatre in all sorts of experimental and alternative incarnations, with many of the artists making their US debuts.”

The Perforations Festival takes place annually in Croatia and presents a range of artists working in performance art, theater, and dance, whose diverse approaches to art-making blurs the borders between these genres. Their work touches upon issues of identity (public, political, religious), redefining borders and space, a collective past, and personal histories, but most of all their work talks about the present. Highlights from this festival will be presented in New York, offering audiences insight into contemporary lines of artistic thinking from some of the most provocative and influential artists in the region.
