The Night Crusier: Memory (2024)

In this urgent time, those who dominate allow doctors, elevated to the status of unquestionable authorities, to declare all facts, current situations, and realities through every conceivable medium in brief, authoritative broadcasts. Experts speak, and facts seem to immediately transform into the shape of their words. We find ourselves confined within an inescapable framework of "consensus." Only those with an innate capacity for judgment, moving like a tango dancer, making sudden leaps, and gliding continuously to new positions, can leave this "consensus" behind. Otherwise, we endlessly surrender our bodies, to be occupied and stripped even of our posture. Thus, in our next performance, we infused it with more elements of escape and gliding steps.
