THREE bitches, TWO planets, ONE rocket is a dance-theater performance by Urška Vohar in collaboration with the award-winning playwright Simona Semenič. The play takes viewers into a reality show in which three Earthlings fly a rocket to Mars with the aim of creating a new and better society. Once there, they begin to face both physical problems, such as a change in gravity, as well as issues of social order in a world where rules have not (yet) been written. The play humorously but critically draws attention to the problems facing modern society.

Urška Vohar, choreographer, dancer, light designer and dance educator finished high school in Maribor and graduated at Maribor’s Faculty of Education (visual art pedagogics). In 2006 she graduated from the School for New Dance Development (SNDO) in Amsterdam, Netherlands. While studying in Amsterdam, she began her solo career as a stage light designer. As a choreographer, dancer or stage light designer, she has collaborated with many renowned domestic and foreign artists. During and after school, she created quite a few projects, of which most resonant were the solo I was born on Sunday and the Republic of Dust, that was a guest at several festivals. Since 2006 she has been living and creating in Ljubljana, where she collaborates with various producers: Emanat, Maska, City of Women and many others. As a co-author and performer she has been a part of techno burlesque Image Snatchers since its creation in 2013. In 2015, she received the Ksenija Hribar Award for pedagogical work in the SVŠGUGL collective - contemporary dance.
