The play will gather on the stage Marina Abramovic along with the actor and writer Willem Dafoe, the stage director Bob Wilson and the singer and composer Antony Hegarty, lead singer of the band Antony and the Johnsons.
La Fábrica Galería will feature key works of the Serbian artist career: Rhythm 4 (1974), Rhythm 10 (1975), Art Must Be Beautiful, Artist Must Be Beautiful, (1975) and Relation in Time (1977), including videos of this performance as Breathing in/Breathing out with Ulay (1978).
Her performances are a series of experiments aimed at identifying and defining limits: of her control over her own body; of an audience's relationship with a performer; of art and, by extension, of the codes that govern society. This experimentation has allowed her to exhibit in the most important institutions all over the world, the recent one, The Artist is Present, featured at MoMA from New York in 2010.
From the beginning of her career, Marina Abramovic (Belgrade, 1946) work by her own. Her first performances Rhythm 4 (1974), Rhythm 5 (1974) and Rhythm 10 (1975) were very controversial. Abramović's work explores the relationship between performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind. In 1975 Abramović and Ulay began their collaboration, the main concepts they explored were the ego and artistic identity. This was the beginning of a decade of influential collaborative work. Over the next two decades they lived and collaborated together, performing and traveling extensively. Their performances explored the parameters of power and dependency within the triangular relationship between each other and their audience. Their performances Relation Work (1976), Relation in Time (1977) or Interruption in Space (1977), explored the dualistic nature of their relationship: man/women, lonely/company, desire/prohibition.
