Two performers act in one of the exhibition galleries of «Ubu painter. Alfred Jarry and the arts», unfolding poetic actions that offer new alternatives—free, excessive possibilities.
A 10-minute piece that is repeated at regular intervals.
Prohibitions—those that are not agreed upon but imposed—are often the result of poor imagination, expressions of the tyranny of reason that prevents us from conceiving other possibilities.
Imagination and fantasy as forms of resistance:
resistance to the reality imposed by narrative,
by reason,
by science,
by administrative processes,
by law,
by politics,
by art,
by technology and procedures.
The urgency of accessing boundless imaginations, capable of multiplying the possible.
