Layers — performance | Katarzyna Żeglicka and Alicja Czyczel

Layers” is a choreographed tale of care, care and radical imagination. Katarzyna Żeglicka and Alicja Czyczel invite you to a world where weakness becomes a strength and solidarity a tool in the fight against oppression. Combining herstory, queer feminism and carnal practices, the artists speculate on an anti-capitalist and anti-patriarchal reality based on love and community.

About the show

INSPIRATIONS

The starting point for the play is the fate of the rebels from the book “Simplified Reading” by Cristina Morales and the life of Frida Kahlo. They are united by disagreement with the existing reality and courage in creating a world in which there is room for everything important.

RELAXED PERFORMANCE FORMULA

The performance takes place in the formula of relaxed performance, which means that:You can freely change position (sit, lie, stand) and move around the room.You do not have to maintain silence — react as you feel.It is a space open to going beyond the normative schemes of perception of art.About the artist
