On Saturday, 23 September (7 pm), the FORMAT ZERO Artistic Association and Collective will premiere Iwona Wojnicka and Małgorzata Gajdemska?s I??M (ZAWIROWANIA Centre, ul. Belwederska 20/22). A dance piece inspired by the figures of Yvonne of Witold Gombrowicz?s drama Yvonne, Princess of Burgundy, and Margarita of Mikhail Bulgakov?s The Master and Margarita, I??M inspects the notions of identity, image, fluid boundaries in the world of instant changes and technology dominance? I??M is a stage work in the form of a triptych that stimulates a discussion on the structure of performance, the presence of the dancer and the number of performers.
Repeat performance: 24 September, 7 pm.

Who is the woman in herself, her emotionality, detached from the context of relationship, family, scheme, stereotype? Is she more like Yvonne or Margarita? Or is she perhaps usually trying to be between ? at the Great ball at Satan?s, where the outer rhythm drifts her towards mechanical trance? Who is she? Who are they? Who are we? What does it mean to be? […]
