Kostya – the ballad of pigs and seagulls (RS)

ANDREJ NOSOV & NILS WETTERHOLM

Nothing you make will outlive the week. The world cleans its surfaces every morning – quickly, precisely, almost synthetically. So: one disillusioned pig. One dead writer. One new theatre that vanishes in the very act of its becoming.

There is no script. The piece is written in this room, out of the body of the person standing in front of you. There is no blood either – there was no budget for it. You’ll have to provide that yourself. And remember: the trouble is, you’re not alone in this room.

The play is inspired by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov’s The Seagull.

For full enjoyment, some kind of knowledge is, in fact, necessary.

Trigger warnings: Serbian, irony, nasty, Serbian again, participatory, unknown feelings, maybe sexual

The performance is part of the project Political Loneliness – a collaboration between Sweets & Heartefact. The project has previously resulted in the performance Art & Money by Freja Hallberg, which is now part of the recurring repertoire in Belgrade and has been presented in both Belgrade and Stockholm. The productions have been funded by the Swedish Institute.

Language: English, with parts in Swedish and Serbian
