What is ID#entity?

ID#entity is a contemporary dance performance we are currently working on. It will be premiered on 15 and 16 May 2015 in the Theater elledanse in Bratislava, Slovakia. On the stage, we will use a special 3D projection mapping that creates unique visual effects. We want to create a fresh, dynamic project that will point out topics that resonate and culminate in the current society. Our ambition is to extend the contemporary dance, bring it closer to a wider audience and attract young generation to come to the theater.

Why identity?

The topic of identity is very actual. When you search for a meaning of this word, you find several paradoxes:

  • Identical in mathematics means ‘the same'.

  • Identity in social science stands for person’s individuality and uniqueness.

  • Identity also describes one’s need for identifying and affiliating himself with a group.

In the performance, we will look at the identity from three specific views:

  1. The identity of a man in the time of emancipation, gender equality, hispters, and cosmetics labelled ‘for real men’. This gives rise to a question: “What is really manly?” Formerly, this moment was defined by doing the compulsory military service, leaving home; the native tribes in Africa have different initiation ceremonies and rituals... What makes a boy a man today?
  2. Is it necessary to integrate into the system? A citizen in a society full of rules, norms, expectations, and stereotypes. The individual is expected to integrate into system, is assigned an ID number, and fulfills expectations and roles assigned to him by the society. Is it possible to stay independent?
  3. Authenticity of human identity in the virtual world: to what extent are information, relationships, and human behavior in social networks real? Are we really authentic on the Internet? Or is it only a means how to build up a status we want to be perceived by our surroundings?

How will your contribution be used?

We are searching for funds that will cover the cost for rental of the theater (stage including the lights technique), purchase of the projector suitable for projection mapping technique, reward for composition of the music, costumes, promotional posters, and other direct cost linked to the project. 

If we will be successful with the funding, we wish to travel with the performance in Slovakia and even abroad (in case we are lucky).


Support a unique cultural project and help us to make it happen. Thank you.
