October 3rd at 9.00 p.m., premiere
October 4th at 9.00 p.m.

The solo performance What If? plays through various prescribed and recommended lifestyles. It embodies both conditionalities, the one that dominates formation of various representations, related to the socially acceptable ways of living, as well as the one that cuts through autopilots of the prescribed. By drawing on the concepts of hysteria, shame and pleasure, the performance articulates itself in a polyvalent language, uncovering autobiographic anecdotes, theory, concepts of emotions in their symptomatology, the imaginary arena of popular culture, while citing the ever-changing idea of “being-in”.
