The Performance Situation Room assembles two works and artists that address an urgent need to rest. To be patient. Together. No withdrawal into digital or social bubbles, but a sharing of time and space, allowing for sensual pleasure as well as resistance, as in Ewa Dziarnowska’s This resting, patience. Maud Blandel offers insight into the sonic, visual and danced materials of her newest work Same Old Songs at mumok cinema. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Three Guineas (1938), it transforms the anti-war essay, which understands war as a patriarchal issue, into a psychedelic, ultra-energetic hallucination.

The Creative Europe project Life Long Burning – Futures Lost and Found, with 12 partner organisations from 12 countries, is not just hosting the danceWEB International Scholarship Programme and the [8:tension] Young Choreographers’ Series. The partners also organise a series called “Performance Situation Room”: open spaces that invite artists and audiences alike to dive into current topics of a certain urgency.

The screening at mumok will be accompanied by a talk with the artists.
