Santa

In this project the performer is hidden beneath the familiar red and white costume, begging on the knees, in silence. Dropping coins into a Coca Cola can and in return, members of the audience are given a coloring-in drawing of Santa, with the message Colour me in and give me a name!

The already complex history of Santa Claus becomes even more questionable in post-socialist states such as Croatia and Slovenia, which have witnessed a complete transformation of this image. The previous atheist was reborn as a church lover, and his name was accordingly changed from a worldly one into a Christian one, while the time of his arrival moved from New Year back to Christmas.
