LAMENT OF THE EARTH - Donika RudiLament of the Earth is a cycle of audio-visual works by composer Donika Rudi dedicated to the effects of climate change on Earth. The core focus of this cycle is to address the topic of climate change and sound experiences for the deaf community. Place: Parku i Qytetit (City Park)

Lament of the Earth is a cycle of audio-visual works by composer Donika Rudi dedicated to the effects of climate change on Earth. The core focus of this cycle is to address the topic of climate change and sound experiences for the deaf community.

The work is built based on the graphics of warming stripes, which visually portray long-term temperature change on the surface of the Earth. The beginning of the work focuses on organic and human sounds, mainly on calmness and harmony with the text of Doruntina Basha, while the culmination is achieved with transformed, distorted sounds and the weep of the Earth, the call for action, performed by Kaltrina Miftari, soprano. Sign language and dance are an integral part of this cycle. Through movements, dance and "visual vernacular" the emotion of the sounds will be experienced. The work addresses what we all feel, but do not speak, look but do not see, something that affects as we remain indifferent.

Every living being is an integral part of the Earth, as such we rise and return to it.. This work is the medium between the listener and their long-lost genome, as it tries to explore the existence of each of us with a call, a call to listen and act before it is too late.

She spoke, but did we listen?
She asked, but did we respond?
She gasped, but did we stutter?
We are, until she is!

WEATHER FORECAST, 2022 - Driton Selmani Planet Earth is old news. It’s the house we are discarding. We definitely don't love her. We almost believe we don’t need her.Place: Parku i Taukbashçes (Taukbashçe Park)

Planet Earth is old news. It’s the house we are discarding. We definitely don't love her. We almost believe we don’t need her. 1

It looks as though forests appear to be hidden books, where each tree composites a white clean page. Waiting for another poem to be written on them as the “testimony” and the basis for any narrative concerning the past. 2

Getting into the middle of the relationship between nature and people, and using the deep forest as the referential form to confess and construct the history of our time, the project will try to question the cost of what we are not willing to pay.

By installing a used school blackboard, along the depths of the forest, where records of historical or even future events will be a guide for keeping the memory alive, for a complex generation, but also making the writings on them Non-erasable. As evidence and necessary lessons to balance the history of the future between man and nature itself.

AROMA MAPPING - Eva Bubla (HUNGARY) The city unfolds itself to us through our senses. We may explore our environment, its rhythm, atmosphere, texture, as well as its current condition through sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. In recent times however, sight has become the predominant means for discovery, overruling other modes of sensory exploration and bonding. What if we closed our eyes and returned to those senses?Place: Parku i Taukbashçes (Taukbashçe Park)

In recent times however, sight has become the predominant means for discovery, overruling other modes of sensory exploration and bonding. What if we closed our eyes and returned to those senses?

What types of scents shape Pristina? What kind of human and non-human agents, environmental or social factors, activities determine it? What stories can scents unfold?

During the workshop we explore the surrounding area by using our body and olfactory senses, looking for the unique scent profile and fable of the city.

Length of workshop: 60-90 minutes

Number of participants is limited for a session

THE LOVE IS FOR … - Agnes Nokshiqi, Donikë Ahmeti & Don ShalaA collaborative performance of three artists, that examine the ways we treat the Earth and our everyday behavior, by inviting us to ask ourselves who the love is for? What we do, and what do we say when we talk about the Earth, environment, air, and water? Artistic questions of our love and our behaviors find the form of the body language. These questions revive our relation with the props of our everyday life, our relation with the Earth, where we are fed and where we actually live in.Place: Parku i Qytetit (City Park)

A collaborative performance of three artists, that examine the ways we treat the Earth and our everyday behavior, by inviting us to ask ourselves who the love is for? What we do, and what do we say when we talk about the Earth, environment, air, and water? Artistic questions of our love and our behaviors find the form of the body language. These questions revive our relation with the props of our everyday life, our relation with the Earth, where we are fed and where we actually live in.

Thanks to the human nature “love”, the raised question marks of the planet’s transformation, are embodied in the gestures and movements of the performers. There, on the ground, on the Earth that keeps us alive, on the Earth where we love or pretend to love.

Trails of the '90's underground culture This audio journey has been created from memoires of the real life of the artist, Florent Mehmeti, during the nineties of the previous century, weaving an artistic experience that traverses the life of young people of Prishtina during this period, especially the life of young artists.

A storytelling journey in the trails of the '90's underground culture of Prishtina.
by Florent Mehmeti

Starting point: Bill Clinton Statue, Dardania, Prishtina

This audio journey has been created from memoires of the real life of the artist, Florent Mehmeti, during the nineties of the previous century, weaving an artistic experience that traverses the life of young people of Prishtina during this period, especially the life of young artists. It is based on real events, but empowered with artistic means of the artist himself. The journey that starts from Bill Clinton Statue and ends at Dodona theatre, the cultural resistance nest of the time, goes through streets and alleys that reveal moments and situations that rarely happen in history.

This journey can be experienced autonomously at any time using your own smart phone and earplugs, downloading 'the walk' in the application and following technical details at www.hapu.me/90


With the support of Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports - Department for Cultural Heritage

The Festival of Arts in Public Space HAPU is organized by ODA Theatre and this year it has been conceptualized as HAPUDEMIA. The festival will take place in the remaining part of 2020 through many artistic interventions which invite the audience and the artists to meet with each other in ways that current circumstances allow in physical public space and digital public space - the internet and information technology tools.

We invite you to follow us in our social networks to find out more for opening that will happen one after another, spread in different times and spaces, physical and digital.

 

It's the time to get grounded!

Dear friends and enthusiasts of the Earth, of air and water,


After countless struggles and hardships over the past two years, we are slowly but surely taking our first steps towards picking up where we stopped prior to the global pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Through the chaos, our consciousness has been shaken to its core, questioning where we really live and how we live, how we are treating our planet, ourselves, and each other. Unavoidably, we are focusing at the core of the existence, at us, the members of the humanity.

But is it already late? Can we still ground ourselves and connect with Earth?

This year HAPU’s eighth edition seeks to interrogate these questions, or perhaps even raise more. Featuring artists this year are putting neurological artistic points on Taukbashce and the City Park as a means to converse with the Earth and its inhabitants. To raise these issues and other that intertwine, the mediums of music and sound are being utilised, those of sign and body language, the black board, the movement and gesture, the props and everything that surrounds us.

We invite you to join us in this journey with artists, part of our joint work and the collaboration at the European level with our partners within our IN SITU partnership. We invite you to open up (as HAPU means in Albanian) yourselves with the Earth, the water, and the air and with all other non-humans that co-habit with us. We invite you to rethink our role and behaviour as co-habitants of this Earth.
