Mindelact Opening Art Parade 2019 Participation of artists from around the world

A mysterious headless figure takes over the opening ceremony of Mindelact 2019. Is this a good omen?

It is a  viva statue character based on modern sculpture, using mixed techniques of scenic presentation for the first time in this art. Strong physical demand, maximum performance periods of 40 minutes at a time, It is a work exorcising the pain of disillusionment, and during the performance meditation is real with the focus on the question: which Path should we follow when the heart no longer beats or beats ?

Photographic performance from   from the universe of "The House of Sleeping Beauty", by Yasunary Kawabata.  A man goes to that house to sleep? to die? By his side sleep women who never wake up. "He opened the card containing two white pills. If he took one of them, he would be in a state of numbness, between dream and reality; if he took both, he would fall asleep like a dead man."

*performance for two spectators lasting 10 minutes.

​

It is from the public space, between the daily beat that “O Postman” emerges, a performance inspired by the imagination of traditional postal services. In the course of the action, a poetic movement is created that diverts the eyes of the shop windows and mobile phones and contributes to the anonymous, previously indifferent to each other, to stand side by side in a good mood.

The Hybrid is an investigation into relationships and boundaries between species, races, creeds, genders and behavioral patterns. Design and performance Robson Catalonia Supervision Robert Wilson

 'TCHON Di BALANTA', is dance, movement and musicality that are inscribed under the desire of an individual to discover what remains of his cultural heritage of African origin, and the European post-modern man -westernized into which it saw itself become.

Direction, Performer, Dramaturgy and Production  Welket Bungué

It is a performance of a living statue that also uses movements of displacement and mime, in which the entire character presents himself as a being of stone. High visual impact. Imagine such a being trying to go shopping in the market...

The slow movement of the body completely covered by the clothing. The figure merges with an architectural element such as a monument. The result creates a funereal atmosphere around it, an endless requiem. Performance installation for a landscape 

“She is light but worried. Until it gets fixed.”
