“AVAZ” *

One month before the festival “My Earth Štaglinec” occurred they started on a daily basis writing hand written letters to each other (during the period from 11th May till 11th of June).
The letters were send to the organizer-artist Vlasta Delimar i.e. on the address of the Art organization “My Earth Štaglinec” in Croatia.
Buba was writing from The Netherlands and Marina (mostly) from Switzerland.
During this one-month of correspondence, they stopped completely to communicate with each other.

After that month of “blind” correspondence, two local women: Nada Novak and Marija Polančec from Štaglinec perform together by reading their letters to each other in public.
Marija Polančec was Marina’s voice and Nada Novak was Buba’s voice.
That so-called second part of one-month performance took place during the opening time of the festival and it lasted a couple of hours.

* Avaz is Bosnian-Serbian archaic word and it means the voice.
