“The performance of both world-renowned and acclaimed artists will signal the seemingly opposite impulses that create cycles of creation and destruction both on the individual’s deeply personal, existential level and in external interactions with society as a whole. Inspired by Martin Luther King’s legendary centenary In 1963, the central motif of this performance and exhibition will be its quote “I have a dream”, which will transform from a visually impressive, dynamic performance process into a graphic, entropy installation, which will later be seen in the exhibition with documentation of this performance. and farce – worthy elements with a good dose of irony, as well as unpredictable and physically demanding repetitive action, in which gender roles will change and the object of the action will become a mirror of society, “writes the organizers of the event.
