MIKE, WHO THE F IS MY FATHER?
The performance celebrates artmaking without rules and retraces a personal history where dream and reality transgress. It captures how parents and children choreograph their lives around each other’s stories. My father doesn’t only represent himself in this piece. His story opens a window into a certain era of the European art world from the sixties and seventies. Art was then a practice for survival for many artists, overcoming their traumas with humor and self-care, as it was for my father. Through him, we get a glimpse of the historical fables of this era.
Includes artist talk
