WHITE HORSE. SHORT HISTORY OF HATE
Museum of Contemporary art [2016]
White Horse is an effort to draw a lucid eye on our recent past in Romania, aimed to dissect the mechanisms of radicalization. Who are the Architects of Morality and how do they shape contemporary conscience?
In 2016 a zealous TV journalist humiliates those taking part in a historical court case - the State versus Ioan Ficior. In 1960, Ioan Ficior, a zealous young communist, runs a prison where 100 people die due to mistreatment. In 1944 a zealous teenage Hungarian baron kills a peasant in front of the man’s younger brother, Ioan Ficior. Performed all the way to exhaustion by Ilinca Manolache, supported by live music mixed with the stunning voice of experimental musician Diana Miron and a water tank filled with fish.
The show premiered in 2016 and has, since, been part of various human rights platforms such as One World Romania and Comuna Unversitară.
White Horse is produced in the larger frame of „Torturer - A pact for collective responsibility” with the finance support from Romanian National Cultural Found - AFCN. Partners: Museum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest, Active Watch, Apador-CH, Miltia Spirituală, Teatrul Replika.
