Project
Branko Miliskovic was working on his live performance entitled “The Song of a Soldier on Watch” and was inspired by one of the most controversial German love songs, “Lili Marlene”  the  song of which one thought it could lead to an individual and collective resistance of the soldiers on the front. In this performance he inhabits the body of both Lili Marlene and of the soldier, aiming to achieve an extraordinary fusion of both genders and to create an androgenic type, or perhaps even more likely the WWIII-version of Lili Marlene.
