VRATI
A performance ritual by Magdalena Petrova
VRATI is an unconventional way of relating to each other through clay. In this work, the participant is the conversation carrier and touch is playfully explored as a transmitter of thought and emotions. The performance starts at 14:07.
Open call for participation
We are looking for shapeshifters, non-talkers, and psychic communicators to participate in VRATI, a performance ritual that explores haptic conversations. The hands being the tools, using clay as a mediating platform for conversations unspoken by words but by energy and feeling. The installation builds upon symbols of Bulgarian Folklore and investigates the narratives of rites of passage.
