Kreativni pogon

This year’s Street Musicians Festival will be a chance for you to meet Novi Sad’s Kreativni pogon (Creative Drive). “We are a citizens’ association gathered around current events and then finding a way to present them through our performances. As part of our work we use contemporary circus techniques, physical theatre, modern dance and all that we can think of, having crazy fun along the way. We develop our skills through everyday practice as well as taking part in various workshops and master classes having to do with the performing arts”, said the members of Kreativni pogon.

Their show – titled the Contemporary Circus Show: Proletarians – we will have a chance to see both on the second and third days of the Festival, in Danube Street, at the City Library. The show is accompanied by music which has, as they announce, lifted the working classes from the middle of the 20th century until today. The show will shed light on the history of the working class, on its rise and fall, “and what does it all look like today, and we will also talk about the contemporary need of consuming in a system whose offers are immense, but in which pockets are empty.”

– More than anything we love performing in the street, and, if it be possible, that it be accompanied by live music, but we ourselves know to play music our own way. When the weather is nice you can find us in one of Novi Sad’s parks, while during winter we are in a top secret location – Kreativni pogon explained. Their show lasts 40 minutes, and is accompanied by carefully selected music, as well as musical acts which the artists themselves perform.
