Diversity Is Our Strength
31 DEC – 16 JAN
A unique celebration in Europe: two celebrations of New Year’s Eve, two days, two ways of measuring time, two alphabets and two arts. Doček is stressing the intercultural identity of Novi Sad through cultural heritage and contemporary practice.
During the title year, in addition to other programmes, Doček will bring great multimedia exhibitions inspired by energy and time, i.e., our scientists Nikola Tesla and Milutin Milanković, within which contemporary light and digital forms of expression will be used.
More than 280 artists from 9 countries will perform at more than 60 events within Doček 2022. Some of the names and programmes for Doček announced so far are the new queen of fado music Carminho, the Finnish musician Jimi Tenor, Tesla’s light gallery, legendary Slovenian director Dragan Živadinov, and Dušan Jovović, a European award-winning author known to the local public for thematically dealing with the lives of our greats.
In the following months, the announcement of the programme for 2022 will continue. The entire Programme Book of the project will be published in October this year.
1 FEB – 20 MAR
The programme arch presents an overview on movement of population as an inspiration in art and reminds us of positive consequences of migrations and mutual permeation in culture, which are an integral part of our lives.
One of the main events will be the ‘Migrations of Souls’, a unique literature pavilion, connecting visual and performing arts, with the aim to present the impact migrations have on an individual. We can also expect the Caravan, a gastronomic journey across Europe through art and flavours, and many other programmes.
Encounter of diversity, movement of the population as a source of cultural, artistic and creative expression, perception of the positive consequences of migration – these are the key determinants of the Migrations programme arch, which, in addition to the unique pavilion of books at the fair, is preparing more than 300 events where you will have the opportunity to enjoy the performances of over 100 artists from 42 countries.
Some of the names and programmes for Migrations announced so far are one of the best artistic circuses in Europe, the French Beta Circus, the Barcelona Gipsy Orchestra and the star of contemporary dance, a Japanese artist based in France, Kaori Ito.
In the following months, the announcement of the programme for 2022 will continue. The entire Programme Book of the project will be published in October this year.
