FESTIVAL IZIS

X. PIPES

IZIS is coming. Join us between September 23 and October 16, 2022!

“The tenth anniversary edition of Izis takes up as its basic element the pipe, that elongated and hollow something that normally provides, in secret, all the inflows and outflows that either in the bowels of our homes and cities or inside our bodies keep our lives running as smoothly as possible.” – Karlo Hmeljak

This year, you will be able to see intermedia works by well-established Slovenian and foreign artists at the former salt warehouse Libertas in Koper.

The performative program, which will explore the future of audio multi-channel immersive (re)production, will be performed at a new venue, the Bastion fortress.
