“How to eat with open mouth?”
“Is the door the backside of space?”
“Is it possible to find safety in the space of Fear?”

Experimental performance of the movement collective Bitnamuun explores spaces in between. It is interested in spaces and states “in the midst of”.

Leja Jurišić, Teja Reba: THE SECOND FREEDOM

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. If you want to save Peru, go and save Peru.We should never wear stockings or underclothes because it is important to breathe freely.
