Liina Magnea: SSASSINS CREED (LADY SAYS STOP)

In the organizer's words:

SSASSIN'S CREED (LADY SAYS STOP) delves into the abysses of human behavior when power and social status that were once taken for granted are shaken. The performance explores the multi-layered metamorphoses of those who lose themselves in the role of victim and fall into self-referential madness, as well as those who elevate themselves to the status of the chosen ones, driven by the conviction that they must improve the world. The consequences range from founding sects to running amok. What kind of modern perpetrators and evildoers do these people become when they feel deprived of their power? How far can they go when they want to destroy or trigger "revolutions"?

In the performance, Liina Magnea embodies the character of a police officer. She stages and undermines her institutional authority with humor, distorted language and choreography. In her authority, the character is in crisis and plagued by inner doubts.

Duration of the performance: 40 - 50 minutes. The performance will be in English. The performance uses violent and aggressive language.
