"A Burning Flame Is Our Language" Persormance

Description

A Burning Flame Is Our Language. A performance by Artiom Zavadovsky

A burning flame is our language
Amidst a people waking
From a deathly sleep, no warning,
Like the brave man of the stories.
(From the national anthem of the Republic of Moldova)

Words may hurt; they may kill. Words may humiliate and make you hate yourself. Like burning flames they can leave unpassing traces. This social and political taxonomy defines you as a human being. What do you do with it?

Artiom Zavadovsky's performance explores the effect of institutional and individual discourse on the person in the context of state and society.
