O performansu

Doma zgrajen parnik, vseh 3.730 kilometrov reke Misisipi in dva evropska umetnika v osrčju Združenih držav Amerike. Maxime Berthou in Mark Požlep nas v kinematografskem eseju popeljeta na dvomesečno avanturo vzdolž mitske reke, ki sta ga opravila leta 2019. V njem vidimo ljudi, ki sta jih spoznala med svojo avanturo, ter brutalni portret vsakdanjega življenja v mestih ob Misisipiju. To so od revščine razdejane skupnosti, kjer je ljudem zdravje uničilo industrijsko zastrupljanje. To so tudi skupnosti, ki še vedno trpijo zaradi rasizma. A na potovanju smo priča tudi moči posameznikov, ki poskušajo najti smisel svojega življenja, da se lahko razdajajo drugim.

Esej je kombinacija filma in performansa v živo, ki ga izvaja ameriški igralec Davis Freeman. Če z esejem svoj pogled na reko Misisipi in portret ZDA ponudita Mark in Maxime, skozi performans glas ponovno dobi druga stran, ki si s tem obratom vzame pravico do ugovora. Davis Freeman ob steklenici moonshina tako izzove njune zaključke ter obrne pogled: “Prišla sta, da nas razgalita, zdaj bomo mi razgrnili vaju!”

Več o projektu Southwind

SOUTHWIND zasleduje kronologijo projekta v gibanju in ga prevaja v arhiv osebnih izkušenj, ustnih zgodovin, prepisov in disproporcionalnih produkcijskih mehanizmov. Na praksi temelječa raziskava gradi edinstveno uemtniško metodologijo performansa v trajanju, ki jo Požlep in berthou razvijata že skoraj desetletje. Antropološka popotovanja so oblika performansa v trajanju, ki ga avtorja nato prevedeta v raznolike medije, od vizualne do filmske in uprizoritvene umetnosti. Več informacij o projektu.

A cinematographical essay in which Maxime Berthou and Mark Požlep take us along on the two-month journey along the Mississippi river they took in 2019. We witness the people they meet and the brutal nature of everyday life and the consequences of neoliberal extractivism in the towns along the mythical waterway.

More information about the performance

A steamer built from scratch, all 3,730 kilometres of the Mississippi river and two European artists in the heart of the United States. In a cinematographical essay Maxime Berthou and Mark Požlep are taking us along on the two-month journey along the mythical river they took in 2019. We see the people they met and the brutal nature of everyday life in the towns along the Mississippi. Communities ravaged by poverty, bad health caused by toxic industrial pollution, and racial inequality.

Documentary performance is supplemented by a live performance by American actor Davis Freeman. With the essay Mark and Max propose to the audience their view of the Mississippi river and portrait of the US, with the performance they give the voice back to the other side as a right to reply.

More about the Southwind project

SOUTHWIND follows the chronology of the project in movement, translating it into an archive of personal experiences, oral histories, transcripts, and disproportionate production mechanisms. Practice-based research builds on a unique artistic methodology of durational performance that Požlep and Berthou has been developing for almost a decade - building from adventures as forms of durational performances, and turning them into different mediums, from visual to cinematographic and performative arts.
