Performing Poland
Perform[ing] Poland brings seven original pieces of art, ideated and created by the new generation of women – Performers, Dancers, Actresses, Artists and Artivists currently living and feeling in Poland.
Schedule
All the works oscillate around the problems with which we can describe the reality of the Era of Social Change, which still has not received its final shape and seems to be drifting in an undefined, dangerous direction. What values are we called upon to describe anew, call it the language of the art at the time when the language of politics and the language of our streets failed like never before.
Will Freedom, Dignity and Love retain their place only in the space of the “composed experience of art”? or will they be able to inhabit our Hearts, our Homes, ours Streets, as always till now and as always anew.
Perform[ing] Poland was established as a result of the Interstices. Women in Performing Arts program, curated by Monika Wachowicz and implemented in 2021/22 by the Jerzy Grotowski Institute in Wrocław.
Artus
Artus is an open, diverse intellectual and creative workshop, a meeting place for people, ideas and art.
Artus is both Gábor Goda's company, the Artus Studio - a studio in an abandoned factory building of 2000 square metres - and the collective of 30 artists who work there, as well as the Association, which provides the institutional backdrop.
Founded in 1985, Artus is an independent, contemporary, all-arts collective. We have created more than 100 performances and presented them in 25 countries. Since the beginning we have organised international projects, residencies and co-productions.
The Studio's regular programmes include performances by the Artus company, guest performances, visual arts exhibitions, music and other cultural events, as well as self-awareness and movement workshops.
