153 SECONDS
CNDB, ARCUB, AFCN co-production [2018]

The performance started from encounters with survivors of Colectiv Club 2015 fire and brings together more than 30 artists and survivors, all millenials.

They discuss, in a subjective note, political, moral and emotional implication of a moment that reached deep into the social texture, fueling a unique solidarity movement but, at the same time, a complex process of self reflection.

153 seconds - this is how long the fire lasted during the night of November 30 in 2015. An industrial container, built to be sealed, is painted orange and placed at the club entrance. It bloacks the way out. Then time dilutes everyting. Anger. Discourse. Intentions.
