A week before Mary Magdalene Festival in 1518, Frau Troffea left ︎ her house through the courtyard and, unexpectedly for herself, began to dance frantically in one of the narrow Strasbourg streets. She danced all day and late into the evening, and even all night long. On the third day of this crazy dancing, she was at the stage of extreme exhaustion, shoes soaked in blood, ︎ but she could not stop. Finally, her contagious dance swept through the city, causing a dance epidemic that brought about many victims. ︎
Diving into Frau Troffea’s story, the performer talks about his own experience of traumatic obsession and ︎ relentless search for freedom that seems painful and fatal. Through the shock caused by separation from his home and his past, absorbed by his forced emigration from Belarus and the search for himself, he dissolves completely in the attractive Berlin rave culture. The magnetism of techno brings in the ︎ external and internal transformation of the party-goer: the new freedom of communication and movement he experiences under significant dopings-driven stress. Speeding up, the performer loses and regains the quality of movement, observes bodily reactions, captures critical heartbeat indicators. This action, both physiological and poetic, ︎ reveals various artistic dimensions. Through intense body ceremony, a story of an entire country's disease and the obsessive search for the cure of freedom is told.

“375 0908 2334. The body you are calling is currently not available”
– the idea of performance arose from the state of protesting against violence, resisting prolonged stress, fear and overcoming feelings of guilt in which Belarusians live nowadays consciously or not. It’s a kind of invitation to conceive being detained in Belarus, to go physically through the lawlessness, illegality and outrage which tens of thousands of civilians went through – violence that continues to this day.
The performer builds a fairly simple way of communicating with the audience: identifying himself with the detainee, he simulates the situation of bodily experience at a certain stage of torture, and thus brings a faceless person out of the information field into a physical one, transforms a conditional victim from news into a living person.
“I was looking for a way to express the horror of the events that befell us – how to talk about numbness, fear and at the same time contempt for violence, about the feeling of guilt for the mass emigration of Belarusians and my own - being just an actor how can I support the protest?” – says Igor. – “And this performance was the answer: it is important to stay in context, active, conscious, not indifferent, not disparait.”
