Tea Tupajić, Petra Zanki: The Curators’ Piece (A trial against art)

Thursday, August 29th at 9 pm
College Residence Hall Tabor

A trial
The performance The Curators’ Piece, subtitled A trial against art, puts the selected eminent artistic curators in the shoes of performers. The authors of the project are the theatre director Tea Tupajić and Petra Zanki, who perfected her knowledge of theatre at the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris. The personas on stage are actually the ones who mould the landscape of contemporary performing arts. The curators are also co-creators of the performance and its producers. The question that this performance attempts to answer is one of eternal relevance and complexity, namely: Can art influence contemporary society? Will the performing individuals provide us with an answer to these questions? How can art be once again perceived as a socially relevant category? On stage, we see fiction and reality take place in front of our eyes; a trial for and against art with the accompanying dilemmas and thoughts of its protagonists.
