Commissioned by Lea Vene part of Testing Ground: Reparative Practices for New Cultural Ecosystem. Pogon, Zagreb. November 8, 2024

The performative rehearsal marks the first chapter of a new work dealing with the multiple performances of female roles on and off-screen. It tries to dissolve the fixed roles of performer and spectator, front and back stage, online and offline presence. This open-stage rehearsal-situation is accompanied by film fragments focused on the main protagonist roaming empty public spaces and abandoned hotel interiors. She navigates the directed environments, performs, doubles and improvises different versions of encountered selves. These scattered film snippets reenter the open rehearsal format as a multilayered dialogue between the actress and director disrupting the imposed film and theater setting
