“When I got the news that my father had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, I was already working with the paintings of Marko Jakše, Slovenia’s most acclaimed visionary painter. I was abroad and had a dream. I dreamt of bringing these extraordinary paintings in my father’s garden, he once was an expert in visual communication. And that’s what I did. I would bring him Marko’s paintings and he would read them to me. He would regain his lucidity, and I would record our conversations. This is the frame of my dance, my last dance for you, Dad.”
Mala Kline
MEMORIA is a piece about memory and loss.

Mala Kline is a performer, choreographer and writer. Her work is based on Saphire® dream techniques, which she uses to open up ingenious spaces of experience and generate semantically fluid contradictory images that are marked by atmospheric intensity. Mala Kline has won a number of important Slovenian awards for her choreographic works, including the Golden Bird Award (2005), the Triton Award (2005, 2013), the Gibanica Audience Award (2013, 2023), the Ksenija Hribar Award for choreography (2013) and the Ksenija Hribar Award for theory (2021).
