Maurício Ianês
crossfire is a site-specific participatory action conceived by Maurício Ianês. The public, together with the artist, will build an active and lively living space with the material available to become a place for conversation, exchange of ideas, discourse, and other social, political, and aesthetic experiments, in which the artist will not have the control of the artistic results. The collective action dismantles the hierarchies between public, artist, and institution, blurring the lines between public and private, observer, and artist.

Yiannis Pappas
The Revise (2022)
In “The Revise”, Yiannis Pappas issues a collective request to question and propose answers for all members of humanity — on issues of freedom, justice, impunity, environmental degradation, the everyday, and peace in the world. This synergetic durational and participatory performance peacefully protests our freedom of expression. If human rights are universal how could we utilize them in practice?

Abel Azcona
La Savia (2022)
The public finds Azcona sitting in a chair and witnesses the artist’s drowsiness through his own psychiatric medication, prescribed for his mental illness and his addiction. As the medication develops its maximum effectiveness, the artist’s body will collapse and he will descend from the chair. Azcona invites visitors to move his body through the theater in a procession. In the end, they will place the artist’s body along a base. Accompanied by the public, the body remains motionless and veiled until the artist regains consciousness.

Building 2 (2022)
Building 2 is the second in a series of brick performance works by Maria Stamenković Herranz. Building 2 builds through communal effort. Inviting the public to join her, MSH will lay bricks along the carpeted paths of the theater and with one starting and ending path to/from the streets. The action created among the construction, the builders, and the paths will meditate on the importance of the process in how systems of survival are built as a community, while at the same time preserving individual needs.

Miles Greenberg
Landscape with Figures (2022)
In Landscape with Figures, the floor of the Carré’s ballroom is covered in sand. At the centre of the ballroom, three performers stand atop mirrored surfaces, cradling stones in their arms. Their bodies are dripping in a viscous liquid, evoking the amniotic fluid of the womb. This is a space to amend the rift between our violent, compulsive nature to expand, and the ontic expanse of nature.

Yingmei Duan
Yingmei in Wonderland (2022)

At Carré, Duan will present “Yingmei in Wonderland,” a series of performances, which will change each day or multiple times a day, focused on interaction with audiences, the other artists, and the theater space. Through seemingly simple actions, Duan will embody different characters, exploring forms of encounter and play to evoke a sense of innocence, nostalgia, absurdity, and humor.

Dante Buu
in my tongue, I dream of your mouth, my Alexander (2022)
In a night’s dream, I pulled you by shirt closer and kissed you to make a man that I do not
know jealous. In the very same day in reality you passed me and waved, I waved back while my other hand squeezed Anna’s shoulder. “Is this your friend? Do you wanna say hello?”- Anna asked. “This is the man I used to love for over 10 years.” – unwarily the words slipped from my lips.
In that moment, I remembered the name of the man in my dream: Alexander.
And here we are, among 100 000 meters of thread, 260 meters of cotton and 25 000 of
needles embroidering a dream into reality.
I do not know who Alexander is, nor I know any one of you who pierce with me the needles through the fabric—like lovers’ tongues in mouths of a French kiss (in and out, in and out…). But it really can be that we are the same, that we have loved for way too long in aching beauty of unrequitedly.
