pOOr Butt Zany & SWEAT (anthem)

We celebrate the premieres on December 18, 2025:
pOOr Butt Zany brings Zanni, the servant and dispossessed Commedia dell’arte character, to life as a gig worker, exploring the affective landscapes of post-socialist spaces.
SWEAT (anthem) moves through resilience and perseverance, where determination becomes a quiet form of protest.

There will be texts that are inspired by a specific piece or body of art – the writer’s own artistic work or someone else’s, texts that are unfolding notions of live art, texts that are dealing with developments and transformations by the art form as such.
