Gregor Kamnikar & Marjeta Kamnikar: M (version 2.2)

premiere of the documentary performance

A mother and a son make a performance. Which itself doesn’t speak of the mother much. Or of the son. Or of their relation. Or of the mother’s performing debut in her seventies. There is actually not much talking going on anywhere in the performance. There is, however, a lot going on. And it has to do with identity-as-flow, with the »fight.it« principle, with the hologram-patterned dramaturgy and discrete art. The performance documents perceptions, understanding, communication, expectation, creative desire, destructive impulses and corrosive doubt, which all in one emerge in every new performance. Moreover, it weaves them in the hologram of the performance, which employs the use of the reductio ad absurdum mechanisms procedure and therewith manifests the strength of this vast project’s disposition in its full glory. The project is a form of a Commoveo game (commoveo.ops.si)
