This double bill presents two graduation performances. The evening begins in Frascati 4, where two bodies become inextricably entangled. Afterwards, in Frascati 2, we witness a woman locking herself in a bathroom, determined to lose herself. What does it mean to want to break free from where you come from? And what if you simply can’t exist without the other?

BuryaK - Ida Osten

The unsung hero of Eastern European cuisine. Bleeds like a wound, stains like regret, tastes like home.

Two women, raised in Ukraine and Austria, are inextricably connected. Literally, by a chain. And figuratively, through heritage, history, and the systems that have shaped them.

In this physical, ritual performance, Ida Osten and Sofia Butiaga explore what binds us and how we can move together through a world full of invisible forces. Using the beetroot as a powerful symbol, they tell a story about coexistence, memory, and caring for one another.

Ida and Sofia become each other’s mirror, each other’s refuge. A duet about survival, nourishment, and staying connected.

Hierna zal ik een berg zijn… een simpele kutberg - Eva Gebbinck

A young woman has locked herself in the bathroom. She’s never coming out again. After this, she will be a mountain… a simple fucking mountain.

The young woman Hera has locked herself in the bathroom. Her mother bangs on the door: "HERA, open up!" Hera’s not going to open the door. She’s just fine in here. Hera wants to become something else. Something better. As long as she no longer resembles herself… maybe a horse… a manic hatter… or simply a mountain, a simple fucking mountain.

This performance is based on Eva’s personal experience with transgenerational trauma. Through her alter ego Hera, she tries to break free from her dominant mother, with cold hot dogs, a pink bath mat, butts, vomit, and folk music from a hamburger mug.
