Plea on a Sofa (Zagovor na zofi)

A
decadence of figures, performed by Leja Jurišić and Teja Reba in the
performance Sofa, illustrates the erosion of cultural and neoliberal Europe and the ever stronger rejection of
intellectuality. A stinging performance in which each individual spectator can
choose their own "rhyme". (After Helmut Ploebst, Der Standard,
4/5.12.2010).

This re-enactment of a two-hour performance
will be dedicated to the three members of the punk group Pussy Riot who were,
following a 50-second performance at Moscow cathedral, sentenced to two years
in prison. We will draw material from the content of the closing argument at
the courthouse, held by Nadezhda Tolokonnikova. (Leja Jurišić, Teja Reba)
