Wednesday brought a „Marian combo“ or two solos by two distinctive artists, both of which relate to the figure of the Virgin Mary: Teresa Vittucci's HATE ME TENDER: Solo for Future Feminism and Johana Pocková's TO THE MADONNA WITH RUST (second show). A performance bordering on stand-up comedy versus a dance ceremony set in a church. Different approaches to the same substance filled the theme of Otherness to the brim. Photography by Lukáš Horký.
