SOLIDARITY BORN OF DESPAIR

A performance involving the whole audience, where everyone became instrumental in the successful completion of the piece. The ten main participants were asked to hold light fixtures and with my direction to enact various shapes in the space. After the completion of each shape the other participants were instructed walk through it and to thank the light holders with energetic clapping. The performance began in total darkness and ended the same way after I stomped out the lights. 

“We are the light in the dark, what is the “dark” and who are “we” is shifting, but the light remains the same, it is good.”

Performed in the frame of Polenbegeisterungswelle at Kunstquartier Bethanien, curated by Iwona Bigos, Berenika Partum, and Jagna Anderson
