…is a site-specific play created for the ruins of the nun monastery Dračeva luka at the island of Brač in Croatia. Many secret stories are bound to this place, as sunken stories of what landscape has witnessed. Inspired by the painting "Sunken Landscape" ("Versunkene Landschaft") painted in 1918 by Paul Klee.
I created a dialogue between Moon of the South that dreams of the Moon of the North while the Moon of the North remembers the Moon of the South. It is about the uncertainty, the quest to find one owns bride, one owns Self – played during the day when Moon is up in the sky and down in the water having it's daydream.

What are our abandoned stories and how do they build our perception of time?
What is cultural heritage and how does it live in its present time?

The task of finding our unique bride to be, our unique Self, is coded in layers of personal and collective reminiscence.
The play was performed in 2016 at the geomantic Lifenet Gathering at the island of Brač in Croatia; revived in 2018 for the Slovenian Floating castle festival and the Park Maksimir when a painter’s mussel (a shell, lat. Unio pictorum) from the Maksimir lake unexplainably entered my performing shoe.
