I’m sitting on a milk crate drinking a cold local beer in a bar on the edge of Dubrovnik’s walled Old Town. This stripped-back hole in the wall known as Buža Bar is staggered down a steep limestone cliff.

Wearing black gloves, socks, slippers and a face mask, I stand before her inside the chamber like a Mattel doll in a box: Frozen Barbie. White smoke begins to coil around my bare limbs as she motions for me to mimic her moves. First we squat, then we pump our arms; now we shake.
