I was one of the key creators of "Davastumaniat," an immersive performance set in a golden field—a name that translates to "we are doomed." This site-specific, documentary-based performance was an exploration of the intersection between community stories and artistic expression.
My role involved gathering information from local villagers, which became the heart of our performance. We asked them three thought-provoking questions: Have you ever had lucid dreams? Do you believe in aliens? Do you believe in predictions of the future? Their responses were instrumental in shaping the 1.5-hour performance, influencing the choreography, location choices, and minimalistic scenography.
By integrating the villagers' experiences and beliefs into our artistic vision, we created a performance that was both deeply personal and universally relatable. "Davastumaniat" was a testament to the power of community collaboration and the transformative potential of immersive art.
