The new concert performance Heaven on Earth by Aleksandar Stojković ST (Goribor), in collaboration with Alen and Nenad Sinkauz, offers a poetic-musical journey built upon their previous stage-music collaboration Malo je dovoljno (A Little Is Enough), continuing what they began in 2012 at the MM Center. That earlier stage work was produced by Teatar &TD and the Music Showroom of the Culture of Change, Student Centre Zagreb and due to extraordinary public interest, it remained in the repertoire for five seasons. In addition to audience acclaim, the work also received critical praise for its artistic quality and authenticity, as well as for its unique character: a hybrid between a concert and a theatrical performance, a search for a new stage form, and an exploration of the relationship between music and text, where roles were sometimes exchanged—text became musical material, and music took on a narrative function. This reunion of the creative performing trio brings a new artistic journey in which, as before, Aleksandar Stojković ST is responsible for the text and voice, while the Sinkauz brothers shape the musical landscapes.
Doors at KONTEJNER open at 8 PM, and the performance begins at 9 PM. Tickets are available at a presale price of €4.00 via entrio.hr, and will cost €6.00 at the door.
