Dominik Mario Iabloncic has been linked to music since childhood, inserting it into all projects, being part of his life. She is passionate and tries to learn as much as possible about theatre, dance, media and conceptual arts. He declares himself seduced by everything new. For Dominik Mario Iabloncic, interdisciplinarity is an area of ​​interest for Dominik Mario Iabloncic is the performance theater form, the creations at the intersection of dance with visual, musical and theatrical art. An important element in artistic searches, as he confesses, is experiment as a working method. As part of the Energie! Scholarship, Dominik Mario Iabloncic proposes a creative laboratory, during which to generate artistic research and the finality - a cultural product. He aims for a multidisciplinary development - direction, choreography and interpretation, as well as the dramaturgy and sound atmosphere of the performance, so during the scholarship he will especially deepen the dramaturgy and sound atmosphere of the performance, being the first time he will create alone the two.

The project continues a process started 2 years ago, when he had the idea for this performance, doing research, gathering materials, starting to work on the text since then. A process on which he worked fragmented precisely because of lack of time and overlapping projects. As he confesses, the scholarship will give him the necessary time to focus exclusively on the coagulation of the performance.

Dominik Mario Iabloncic proposes a one-man show about co-dependent relationships and how they have the possibility to transform into healthy forms of relationships. Performance will follow a whole path, from self-destruction and harmful habits, to acceptance and emotional maturation. One of the most important sub-themes that he will include in the concept will be the representation of a gay character, a simple representation, rarely found in the Romanian theatrical landscape, which often adopts these representations in a distorted way, with the aim of enhancing the outlet for public. He declares himself interested in normality, in everyday life that would give the public outside the lgbt+ community the opportunity to empathize with this community, with the character. Dominik Mario Iabloncic will build an extremely personal performance, based on his life experiences, "slightly altered by the opinions of the people I interacted with in the episodes I will discuss. I mention this alteration here because I do not want a one-sided performance, but I am more interested in an overall picture than the exposure of some grievances”.
