GUEST: to be brutally honest 2.0
Jessica Piasecki ja Samuli Emery
To be brutally honest, it is a saturated and pathetic limbo in which one attempts to activate a difficult, beloved, violence-prone body into revolutionary positions.
The working group understands the performance as a laboratory. In this laboratory, they try to trample the bourgeois and capitalist stage for two millennia with joy and transparency, practicing uncensored corporeality, care, joy and love. The work invites the audience to be part of a shared powerful ceremony, to make subversive art and to open their hearts.
