POLSCY ARTY\u015aCI W PROGRAMIE TALKS & PERFORMANCE STAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Czwartek, 23 kwietnia, godz.<\/strong> 18.00 PERFORMANCE Exposed<\/em> av Maja Massier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Duration: 15 min. Location: Offstage \/ All around the venue (starting point at the entrance)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Great Gala is transformed into an intimate ritual of rest. I enter the public space dressed as if for a gala, with full makeup and a red carpet carried in my hands. At first, my presence suggests celebration, visibility and prestige. Gradually, however, the action shifts. I begin to unfold the red carpet, move it from place to place, test different locations, and search for the \u2018right\u2019 spot, as if preparing a stage \u2013 yet the preparation slowly becomes a bedtime routine. I start removing my makeup in the open space, allowing the glamorous appearance to dissolve. Wearing pajamas underneath, I transition from a public, performative body into a private, vulnerable one. The red carpet ceases to function as a symbol of success and instead becomes a substitute for a bed, a blanket and a shelter. I wrap myself in it, make myself comfortable and eventually lie down. The performance ends when I fall asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Czwartek, 23 kwietnia godz. 18.30 PERFORMANCE Make Me<\/em> av Dawid Gelert and Dawid Pyskaty, Presented by Diva Collective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Duration: 40 min. Location: Offstage \/ Near the Caf\u00e9<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an artistic collective, we attempt to carry out a long-term performance titled Make Me, intended to take place in various spaces and environments. It consists of marking out an area on the ground with silver tape where two people stand motionless, dressed in white underwear, looking directly into each other\u2019s eyes. Between them there is a small table with lipsticks in different colors. The audience is invited inside and informed that the performance ends when they leave the marked space. Due to the lack of further action from the artists, the performance unfolds differently each time, making every piece in the series unique. The title highlights both meanings of \u2018make me\u2019: as in \u2018create me\u2019 and \u2018force me\u2019 \u2013 referring, among other things, to crossing boundaries and the effects of crowd behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pi\u0105tek, 24 kwietnia, godz.<\/strong> 14.30 PERFORMANCE Unnamed <\/em>av Nadia Ostrycharczyk, Natalia Pietrulewicz and Dawid Gelert (PL), Presented by Diva Collective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Duration: 15 min. Location: Talks & Performance Stage<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our performance is one from the series where we use ambient, repetitiveness, organic-made sound and its real-time distortion as our medium. The soundscape we build is made of seemingly displeasing sound, but through the use of its recurrence it is transformed into more meditative, contemplative state.The highly engaging sounds such as cutlery against porcelain can cause outrage for one viewer, whereas for others its unchanging melody and rhythm feels relaxing. The theme of our performance series is to engage the audience and get their raw reactions and feelings by using sound and its distortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pi\u0105tek, 24 kwietnia, godz.<\/strong> 14.30 PERFORMANCE \/ INSTALLATION Building Blocks<\/em> av Natalia Pietrulewicz (PL), Presented by Diva Collective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Duration: All day. Location: Near the Caf\u00e9<\/p>\n\n\n\n The performance is based on a simple, repetitive gesture: building a tower from wooden blocks. The structure is assembled, observed collapsing (potentially by someone), rebuilt, left unattended, returned to, assembled, observed collapsing, and rebuilt \u2013 over and over again. Visitors are not instructed in any way, yet they are free to approach, alter, dismantle, rebuild or ignore the structure. Regardless of what happens (through gravity or actions of others) I continue building and rebuilding, maintaining full focus on the blocks and not interacting with the audience. The performance focuses on perseverance, and the ability to sustain attention under unpredictable conditions. Rooted in childhood play, it invites us to reflect on everyday situations in which our \u2018towers\u2019 collapse and we must decide whether to rebuild them. The tower becomes a reflection of our fragile yet resilient being, shaped by perseverance, repetition, absence, and unpredictable social interaction<\/p>\n\n\n\n
