Blackout

Blackout is a theatrical ritual of mourning, of attempts at grounding that helps to endure pain. It is the result of a struggle with depression, of working together and with different materials — plasticine, small pieces of raw and fired clay, a camera, fragments of our lives, and the electricity that is still, for now, present. A therapy through contact. A daily ritual journey down and up in complete darkness, where light also has its rightful place. This is a documentary project interlaced with poetry and correspondence, in which Russia’s war against Ukraine plays a key role. Yet Blackout is not only about that. Two artists and two poets — one present in the space, the other at a distance.
