During her residency at workspacebrussels (February-March 2024), Danae Theodoridou developed The Adversaries, a participatory performance installation, as part of the work she does the last five years on The Practice of Democracy.

The performance takes place this Saturday, 23 November, from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM in the frame of the 2024 Symposium Somewhere Beyond Right and Wrong, There Is a Garden. I Will Meet You There (Rumi), organized by Berlin University of the Arts.

In The Adversaries, two small groups are brought into conflict with each other in a playful manner. A third group, the witnesses, follows the discussion and shares its perspective on the conflict. This allows the participants to think about conflict as a vital part of democracy. Following different instructions, they explore and negotiate an existing conflict in ways that play up the possibilities and limitations of conflict. Together, they try to create a new, third space based on a synthesis of the different points of view.

The Adversaries is created with the support of the Flemish Ministry of Culture in Belgium and the Creative Europe project “ON MOBILISATION.”
