Sonny is an attempt at an anthropological research of a
specific phenomenon in a performative form. It is an amazed fascination
with images and stories of sworn virgins or “virginas” from the remote
parts of Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo and Metohija. It is a hole in the
system which maintains that same system. It is drag in relation to the question of surviving in a man’s world asking us in what world we live.
LANA ZDRAVKOVIĆ/KITCH: No.1

No.1
is bold. She defies the dominant logic of factuality,
counting and recounting that is backgrounded in economy, law-regulation,
and marketing of the dominant dispositive of anti-politics. No.1
is arrogant. She knows that resistance in those circumstances can only
be collective, even though she knows very well that the quality of
multitude depends on the quality of an individual. No.1 is
rude. By constantly working on herself she affirms the gesture of
emancipatory subjectivation that refuses the counting logic and reveals a
scandalous fact: politics is based on “incorrect” counting that opens
the space of absence of any governance. No.1 is dangerous as she is self-conscious. No.1 is human as she is artificial. No.1
is the one as she is the multitude.

SIMONA SEMENIČ: TO LAST
A durational performance, premiere
A durational performance, premiere
To Last, a durational performance by the playwright and
performer Simona Semenič, is her public reading of her complete works,
ensuring the writing to be heard in her precarious voice. The performance title, To Last, symbolizes a certain cleansing
ritual: to the last viewer, to the last text, to the last meaning, to
the last wish, to the last atom of strength … And finally, it is a
process through which the accumulated time of rigid cultural and
societal codes will regain a piece of the future.
