My research and approach to what I call site relevant performance practice bases on the understanding that spaces, architecture, and buildings can function as open and continually evolving texts: from this perspective, space becomes a narrative body, where whose narratives are directly linked to the social, personal, and collective actions that traverse it, as well as the memory that inhabits it.
This practice investigates the interplay between space, architecture, history and memory in relation to the embodied presence of performers and audiences, drawing from the archives of each specific location.
In this form, I often choose spaces connected to working-class history, migration, or communities whose stories have been silenced or remain unheard. The aim is to make space for narratives that are missing from dominant histories. Each site carries its own social dynamics, shaped by the people who’ve lived in or moved through it, and the process of making work is always in dialogue with those layer as well as the present of each location.
Some of my site relevant work includes ‘La misère est héréditaire, autant que la fortune, ’ “Chapter 1: SUGAR” and Dialoguri cu Rafinăria.
