A dance and music performance

Running time 1 hour. No intermission.

In collaboration with Platforma sodobnega plesa, Zavod MOJA KREACIJA Maribor

Ex Auro is a music dance project that is significantly defined by three coordinates – world, jazz and fusion – and in which Maria Keck and Tomaž Pačnik combined their "golden visions". It is the result of their joint research and an exceptional sonic journey, through which they present a mixture of flamenco and other related "exotic" musical genres in a creative way and in modern and live arrangements. 

Maria Keck is an artist from Hungary who has lived and worked in Spain for many years. She has travelled a great deal around the globe performing dance and music, and she represents both traditional and modern genres of flamenco and world music through various ensembles and projects. 

The pianist Tomaž Pačnik has long been a part of the Slovenian and international music scene and a founding member of the ethno jazz ensemble Jazoo through collaborations with many groups. In recent years, he has been obsessed with flamenco, with which he is increasingly active. 

Ex Auro is a fusion of two artists from different creative backgrounds who find themselves and each other through music and dance. The tension they create in the space as soon as they arrive on stage gradually reveals the deepest emotions to the listener, guides him through his own stories and intimate nostalgia, triggers a battle between ego and nudity, and energy in the room opens the door to him through sensual melodies and sounds. and takes it into a state of slight ecstasy…
