Multi-projected slide performance by Magda Tothova
Live sound by Alice Cohen, Delia Gonzales and Paul Philipp Heinze

Take a deep breath. Be seated on a cushion or chair in a straight-back but relaxed position.Take a moment to feel the attitude of your mind. Breath calmly. Let us take you on a ride through the realms of playful scapegoatism and bright marxian sarcasm.
You will experience a collaborative multi-projected slide performance with music and words between Alice Cohen, Delia Gonzales, Paul Philipp Heinze and Magda Tothova, based on the future art piece "A....R. IS NOT INVITED“ by Magda Tothova.

Repondez s’il vous plaît (A.R. is not invited) is a piece based on Tothova’s ongoing research about and around a person whose identity has been reduced to the initials A.R.. Text and slides will be accompanied by improvised loops, vocals, and percussion to create the atmosphere of a mystified figure, who is present but not welcomed.

Tothova’s work is inspired by fairy tales, myths, and personal issues dealing with social structures, presenting dystopian worlds that have many similarities with our own, and encouraging the viewer to see them as parallel worlds. Her interest in utopias, dystopias, and her belief that the world is one of many infinite versions, causes many to associate her work with the genre of science fiction.
