UNDECIDABLE QUESTION They Called Them Footprints

UNDECIDABLE QUESTION
They Called Them Footprints
Première: 30.8. 2023, Zagreb, Museum of Contemporary Art
“Way back when things had a predictable growth, friends from Ljubljana invited us to prefigure the future, to propose a project for 2023.  We decided to perform a turn: instead of predicting future, we tried to return to historical moments of expression of collective will… to mythical moments of uncertainty… to the murmur of undecided pasts. What we didn’t forsee was that from then on we would try to practice the impossible. Some things happened we thought were impossible. Some impossible things still could happen. Nailed in the permanent present of poetry, we are still looking for voices from the future that announce answers to so far undecidable questions!”
