aka N and V pretend to be serious
As legit as shit Performance Studies Scholars we felt that since PSI brought us to Croatia in the first place we should probably take a break from our field work to attend panels with such titles as 'Queer Performance1'. The place was lousy with theory and after so much time with real people it was a little jarring to hear people battle it out on which performances they had or had not seen live, who knew the most old obscure performance artists and of course who could say Foucault the most times in one sentence.
amazing/ strange things-
- there was once a couple who were into body modification in performance and slowly were having plastic surgery to look more and more like each other as an expression of their love.
- as a performance of displaced women a woman unpacked and repacked in the middle of the staircase.
- we (once again) got in a fight with some second wave feminists about drag and the value of Femmeninity when we started defending a grad student from Stockholm's paper.
All in all we saw some good papers, took this picture:
and ate soo many pastries.
Once again we had a lovely apartment to our selves as Mojca had some friends in Zagreb who were going to be at a music festival and so in exchange for feeding their sweet, but insane, cats we got to have a cute little place in the suburbs.
Once we were all theoried out we got back on our old friend- the Ljubljana- Zagreb train and came back to our sweet little Ljubljana for pride.
