YELL PENELOPE
Penelope takes you with her on a quest and through a personal journey reveals the power that lies in tradition. She observes our customs and analyses them. Forcing us to question our own habits, she in fact operates as a guide, camera and audience all at the same time. Life, dreams and expectations versus origin, superstition and instinct. She leaves us a choice between surrendering or breaking from traditon. Everyone recognizes nostalgia, but behind those strong ties to the past can lurk a trap: fanaticism.

Jelena Kostić produces richly packed performance
review Dans Magazine (Dutch)
Yell Penelope flies on happy lightness
review Omroep Brabant (Dutch)
Yell Penelope is fierce, yet warm and witty.
“With such findings Jelena Kostic creates a happy, frivolous mood in a solid performance, full of conflicts and hard edges.”
review Brabants Dagblad
