Ancient futures
2022
Graz (AU)
Sterrrn Festival
A performance and installation commissioned by the Grrrls collective at the site of a public park in Stern. The installation and perfromance is thought as queer ritual and serves as an experiential portal of the community of the ghosts, witches and faeries. The site specific installation will reflect the enviroment of the park.
As a a queer witch Foltyn choreographes rituals as reanactments of the difficult pasts in the search for queer futures. Thinking with Belgian anthropologist Vinciane Despret, she is hosting a safe environment for the dead and inviting those who are alive to walk in between the realms, opening and speaking with the archives. A former home of Vala T. Foltyn - a century old villa in Kraków and a refuge for queer community will be relocated again to unfold its intimate stories, scents and sounds of resistance on the site of Sculpture Park in Graz.
