Performistanbul presents ”Needed You”, a long durational live process that will last for 28 days and 672 hours straight with no intervals to be held between Friday, 16 February and Friday, 16 March. Tickets are available on Biletix. Admission is free of charge for students.
From the organizer:
The first international performance art platform in Turkey to bring performance
artists together, Performistanbul celebrates its second anniversary with a
long durational live process and with the launch of a unique initiative, marking
a brand-new chapter for the performance art scene in Turkey.
The platform takes the first step toward a new phase by presenting Needed:
You, a long durational live process that will last for 28 days, 672 hours
straight with no intervals, to be held between 16 February – 16 March 2018
and by laying the foundations of Performistanbul Live Art Research Space,
which will be Turkey’s first initiative, providing a dedicated space for
performance art.
Curated by Simge Burhanoğlu, the live process entitled Needed: You, will
include 10 performance artists presenting 9 performances in the building of the
Research Space, under construction. Needed: You invites us to a live
process, presenting transparently all stages of a performance. It is an
existential invitation, aiming to encourage the audience to find their own state
of mind where the audience and the artists nourish each other mutually and
help the audience realise their strength, value and the crucial role they have in
the process.
Statement:
The aim is to reveal the raw material of humanity; to remind the most primitive
feelings in us. A long durational work has the power to trigger the
transformation needed, and that’s why Needed: You presents the process
itself instead of offering a resolution. The aim behind this objective is to have
the audience involved in the process and to present a mutually nourishing,
pure experience. The audience is expected to enter the door unbiased; find a
place of their own and feel valuable.
