I'm still here

In front of you is a street in the center of the city, which turns out to be a theatrical stage. Exclusively and only for two hours: paving stones, streetlights, trees, passing cars, the sky above your head become a theatrical stage set. The passers-by who rush down the street on their own business are woven into the action, change their meanings and purposes, become characters in the performance, which is set in a reality that is taken in a theatrical frame, but is based on the dramaturgy of everyday life that exists here and now.

I'm Still Here is a performance that the audience watches from the windows of the art gallery. Passers-by become actors and actors become passers-by. The conventionality of the theater shimmers and dissolves into the street, which resounds with the stories of people who go to meet each other every day, only now their voices are heard. The city becomes a theater set or, on the contrary, ceases to be one, forming a very special space in which everyone has the right to visibility.
