Present Performance 5<\/strong>
Future Perfect<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time:<\/strong> June 30 – July 1, 2018
Venue:<\/strong> Gda\u0144sk-Brze\u017ano, Lido Dom Przy Pla\u017cy and J. J. Haffner Brze\u017anie\u0144ski Park<\/p>\n

Artists:<\/strong> Przemek Kami\u0144ski, Ma\u0142peczki (Maria Magdalena Koz\u0142owska and Maria Tobo\u0142a), Ania Nowak, Zuzanna Ratajczyk and Juan Pablo Cámara, Pawe\u0142 Sakowicz, Marta Zió\u0142ek, guest of honour – Leszek Przyjemski, and others<\/p>\n

The fifth iteration of the Present Performance festival is devoted to events from the past that are not entirely certain to have happened at all. Performance will provide the way to spend time, slow time down, squander time, kill time and manage time, but above all it is a medium that allows one to warp space-time and look out for the future on the horizon. The invited artists will once again present themselves in Brze\u017ano – a seaside district of Gda\u0144sk, where the division between “before”, “now” and “after” sometimes seems merely arbitrary. This time we can meet them not only at the J. J. Haffner Park, but also at Lido – Dom Przy Pla\u017cy in 4 Brze\u017anie\u0144ska St. – an edifice raised on the former site of the famous Seestern Hotel, whose halls regularly witnessed dance tournaments and receptions. Built at the turn of the 20th century, the Star of the Sea burnt down in 1949 during one of such events. Local legend has it that fire was caused by Russian guests celebrating New Year’s Eve at the hotel.<\/p>\n

This year’s festival will be inaugurated by its permanent participant – Leszek Przyjemski, whose action International Meetings of Non-Existent Galleries in 1975 inspired performance presentations in this very area. He will be followed by Pawe\u0142 Sakowicz’s demonstration of his jumping technique in an open air rendition of his work Jumpcore<\/i>, inspired by the mysterious suicide of Fred Herko, one of the stars of Warhol’s  Factory. In the evening, viewers will be able to watch a two-hour version of Ania Nowak’s latest work Untitled #3<\/i> at one of the Lido rooms, whereas the hotel basement will host the post-apocalyptic duo of Zuzanna Ratajczyk and Juan Pablo Cámara: I remember the last episode but not the last anecdote<\/i>, followed by a party with festival artists. The second day of Present Performance will feature an action by the Ma\u0142peczki duo, a solo performance by Marta Zió\u0142ek and the first season of the performative science-fiction series Soft Spot <\/i>by Przemek Kami\u0144ski, whose five episodes reveal the subsequent parts of a choreographic mystery.<\/p>\n

Pawe\u0142 Sakowicz – Jumpcore
<\/i><\/b>Choreography and dance: Pawe\u0142 Sakowicz
Dramaturgy: Mateusz Szymanówka
Music: Indecorum
Outfit: Doom 3k
Production: Maat Festival, Studio Dance Scene, Zach\u0119ta – National Gallery of Art<\/p>\n

It is not entirely certain if Fred Herko was planning to end his intimate performance with suicide. He took a bath, played Mozart’s Coronation Mass<\/i> and began dancing nude in his friend’s living room. He approached the open window several times. When Sanctus<\/i> came to an end, he took a running start and jumped out of the apartment’s window on the fifth floor of a building in New York’s Cornelia Street. For every ballet dancer has the impression that they can fly, and they do fly once suspended for a second in mid-air.<\/p>\n

Ania Nowak – Untitled #3
<\/i><\/b>Collaboration: Dusty Whistles, Jayson Patterson, Agata Siniarska, Ola Osowicz
Includes excerpts from texts by: Kaitlyn Boulding, Ron Padgett, Charles Bukowski, Rumi
Production: Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle\/Artistic Residency Department<\/p>\n

In Untitled #3 <\/i>(Ohne Titel #3<\/i>) <\/i>Ania Nowak reflects on the possibility of losing attachment to obvious categories and binary divisions into thought\/feeling, fact\/fiction, work\/free time, communism\/capitalism. Her performance explores the work of tenderness and rhythms of wrath in late capitalism. The artist investigates language, kiss and breath as ways of communication.<\/p>\n

Przemek Kami\u0144ski – Soft Spot
<\/i><\/b>Choreography: Przemek Kami\u0144ski
Creation and performance: Przemek Kami\u0144ski, Suvi Kemppainen, Julia Plawgo, Alistair Watts
Dramaturgy: Mateusz Szymanówka
Outfits: Konrad Parol
Financed from the funds of the Senate Department for Culture and Europe
Support: Polish Institute in Berlin, Tanzfabrik Berlin, TATWERK – Performative Forschung<\/p>\n

Soft Spot<\/i> is a science fiction drama performance series choreographed by Przemek Kami\u0144ski, with Suvi Kemppainen, Julia Plawgo, Alistair Watts and Przemek Kami\u0144ski in the main roles. Set in the fictional city of Berlin, Germany, in the late 2010s, it portrays four strangers who lives become connected due to a strange dream. The first season concentrates on the group’s search for the legendary “soft spot”, amongst supernatural events happening around the city. It consists of five episodes – “What We Saw in the Dream”, “Full Moon”, “The Cave\/Time Warp”, “I Knew You Were Waiting” and “To the Mountain\/Nucleus” – that can be presented separately or in any order. Each of them reveals a different part of a choreographic mystery.<\/p>\n

Ma\u0142peczki, <\/strong>or superheroes of culture and art, is a duo formed in 2015 by Maria Tobo\u0142a – visual artist, sculptress and performer and Maria Magdalena Koz\u0142owska – voice performer, singer and director. Ma\u0142peczki<\/i> [Little Monkeys] is above all an online variety show<\/i> that features sketches, songs and guest performances by other artists. Situated at the intersection of video art, theatre and performance, the essays thematise specific topics – death, respect, creative process, money. The superheroes rely on repetition – both named Maria and sharing physical resemblance, they deliver the lyrics simultaneously in an old-fashioned manner of kittens from the communist past. In their subsequent incarnations, Ma\u0142peczki appear as tricksters, TV hosts, detectives, gurus, hooligans. Their adventures have been presented by the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, Zona Sztuki Aktualnej in Szczecin and B\u0119c Zmiana foundation. Authors of the Manifesto of New Oneirism.<\/p>\n
