De-familiarizing the familiar: The ‘lele’ Method: Interview with Dragana 
Zarevska & Jasna Dimitrovska

By Darko Aleksovski.

Dragana Zarevska and Jasna Dimitrovska are visual and performing 
artists, cultural workers and activists from Macedonia, who also, often 
work together under the artistic pseudonym Ephemerki. While at the same 
time loving and teasing the rigidity of academism, they like decoding 
magic, making it transparent, go behind Wizard of Oz’s curtain and put 
his pants down. The name of the duo is a funny derivate of Bapchorki 
(band of few grannies who used to sing Macedonian traditional songs in a 
rustic nasal style). It suggests that Ephemerki are their ephemeral 
version, or at least, the ones doing the ephemeral part of tradition. 
Their work is driven from and inspired by Donna Haraway, Judith Butler, 
Deleuze and Guattari, Agamben, and other contemporary thinkers and 
practitioners within arts, technology and society.

The Lele method is their latest performance (a performative event for a 
bunch of people, as they like to call it) and so far was performed at 
AKTO 6, Festival for Contemporary art in Bitola and Kondenz&Locomotion, 
Performing arts festivals organized in Skopje and Belgrade. Here is the 
story behind the project.
