Working with the Albanian choreographer, Blenard Azizaj was a wonderful journey to discover how we could combine dance and long-duration performance in Balkan Erotic Epic. Blenard brought his expertise in combining traditional folk and contemporary dance, bringing a new dimension of movement to the scenes. I could not imagine this project without his invaluable creative input.

Balkan Erotic Epic continues to run until 19 October at in Manchester.

Wounded Soul is a long durational performance within an installation consisting of seven doors, each connected by a rope that is attached to the artist’s body and restricts his freedom of movement. The performance activates the doors so that they appear either open or closed, simultaneously suggesting struggle, discomfort, unease or inner conflict. The performance is inspired by Joseph Beuys’ installation Hinter dem Knochen wird gezählt - SCHMERZRAUM, in which light is absorbed by a lead space and which confronts the audience with their own fear and vulnerability.

In her research and performance, the artist critically examines the conceptual structures of Joseph Beuys, in particular his idea of the economy of heat. In her performance, Maia uses symbolic materials such as strands of hair, soil, plants and shipwrecks that tell stories of forced migration and displacement. With ritualistic actions, she creates a resonance space in which the repressed can be felt, heard and rethought.

Revisiting 3 weeks of durational performances at Museum Schloss Moyland. The international artist group created new site-specific works to revive the performative nature of the Beuys archives and collection. The performances have charged the spaces and touched numerous visitors at the museum. Now they have transformed into installations of relics and video documentation, which will remain until the end of the exhibition.

Our final week features continuing performances by Cristiana Cott Negoescu, Luisa Sancho Escanero, Evan Macrae Williams, and Yan Jun Chin, as well as new performances by Rubiane Maia and Martin Toloku.

Roulette is a performative installation that materializes the tension between labor, chance, and systemic control. The work highlights the alienation of labor, the erosion of workers’ rights, and the illusion of choice within capitalist structures. The installation features a work station equipped with a pill press machine, sugar powder, and packaging materials, contrasting with a minimal break space furnished with a chair, instant noodles, and an iPad playing Joseph Beuys’ Monologue.
