During his residency in Ljubljana, Imre attended CoFestival and conducted research and rehearsals for Reading the Room, an ongoing improvisational and performative practice that invites the audience to witness a journey of investigating precarious routines for increasing the sensitivity of attention. It aims to braid a multitude of strands of information and possibilities into a single singularity. The term “reading the room” refers to the ability to pick up subtle, nonverbal cues from a group, understanding the mood and atmosphere of a social situation. Additionally, the performance explores how the locality (physical parameters, the genius loci, and the context) informs the performance in relation to where it takes place.

Supported by the Life Long Burning project (Creative Europe), the Ministry of Public Administration, and the City of Ljubljana. In collaboration with CoFestival.
