When the sugar turns into poison? When the idea turns into opium? Why the past never disappears? Why the forbidden tastes so sweet? Why do we need borders to feel free?
After six workshops in six months, after many attempts, ideas, questions and doubts, after lengthy discussions and in-depth feedback, following consideration of what and why to perform, the six stubborn and deliberated performers still found enough serious reasons for their decision to step on the stage and to expose themselves to the gaze of the critical viewer.
VN Lab is the Via Negativa laboratory for performing arts, in which we deal with the questions why and what to perform.
As part of the Iskre programme, the Old Power Station hosts young artists at the beginning of their artistic career, as well as daring ideas of the already established authors. Iskre (“sparks”) are designed for sparks of the new and the innovative in contemporary art, opening in their relaxed casualness a space where both mistakes and amazing, breakthrough experiences are possible.
Admission free.
