The project titled Scene from the liminal is envisaged as a lecture/performance portraying the search for the long vanished Central European world and the symptoms of its destroyed urbanity. By taking  Danilo KiÅ¡’s literary oeuvre as a narrative and referential framework and reinterpreting it in different contexts and media, the performance/lecture aims to recreate the photo-novel Danilo Kiš’s Dream, converting the book in a performance and film projection. The motif which triggered the project, is based on a visual/performative reconstruction of a hypothetical dream in which KiÅ¡ dreams his father Eduard back to life. Eduard, who disappeared in 1944 in one of the Nazi camps retells in various ways what happened to him and how he disappeared. The focus thereby is oriented towards his rite de passage which, in this case, can also be seen as an intermedial transfer from one media (the foto-novel) into an other (performance/lecture and a film projection).
