Radoslav Piovarči: Just Ask Her (SK) (NU DANCE FEST 2023*)

Can we treat each other more fairly? Living art is a space for various questions related to injustice within the society. Three women show what it means to be limited, silenced or categorised.

When will we truly realise the importance of discussing the issue?

Have you got enough space? Are you comfortable here? What is it like to be the centre of attention? What do you want to say? Does anyone care about what you have to say? Do you have to raise your voice to be heard? How are you? Can I share this space with you? Am I treating you fairly? Why are you so serious? What does it mean to be respected? How long do you want to wait? Would you speak up if someone challenges you? Can you manage it yourself? Whose shoes are you walking in right now? What about the protocol? What can be done with it? Can we find a solution?
