The Curators’ Piece (a trial against art)

This is a trial against art. The accusation is that it has failed to save the world.

The Curators’ Piece (A trial against art) is a performance developed together with chosen performing arts curators and presented with them as performers. Tea Tupajic and Petra Zanki invited some of the most interesting international curators that are relevant for the shaping of the landscape of contemporary performing arts. The performance is a plea for reinstalment of responsibility in the arts. It is a fiction and reality at the same time: A trial against art and its protagonists.

«The Curators’ Piece» opens Bastard – Trondheim international performing arts festival 2012.

«Greppet är smart och urvalet kuratorer ger också en bild av de som genom sitt arbete med att välja ut konstnärer och teman för en festival styr vilka uppsättningar som syns i teater-Europa.»
Svenska Dagbladet

«Contentan – en värld utan konst är en död värld – är övertygande.»

«Kuratoren sind intuitive Menschen, die ihre Intuition nur schwer erklären können, dies aber um- so wortgewaltiger tun.»
