Description:
TITLE: Incarcerated GENRE: Performance PRODUCER / PERFORMER: Olga Drachuk-Meyer CONCEPT: The performance is based on the notes from the diaries of the young Ukrainian dramaturge Polina Pushkina. In these, the 13-year-old girl recorded her experiences during the Russian occupation of Eastern Ukraine and her forced migration in 2015. In her diaries, Polina reflects on what it means to grow up in war and to whitness the doom of humanity every single moment. The leading motifs of loneliness and incarceration in the diaries created during the war in Ukraine are interrelated in the performance with the current geopolitics on the one hand and with the global situation of ecological catastrophe on the other. In that context the performance aims to create an image of death and rebirth on the background of the worlds collapse and question the future of the humanity itself. RESUMES: The performer is situated in an aquarium filled with water that reaches her knees. The aquarium is placed in the middle of the performance space and can be seen by the audience from all sides. Following the text of the diaries, the performer paints ovals of different sizes on the walls of the aquarium. Images of the ocean are projected onto the walls of the performance room. The auditory background is formed by excerpts from the diaries of Polina Pushkina, partly translated into English, partly recited in the original language, contextually complemented with the whale cries. DURATION: long-durational PICTURES / VIDEOS: to be provided in the end of April 2021.
