The Dew Point is a documentary performance exploring the ambiguous value of security in times of (perpetual) war.
Performances:
Fri 28.11. at 18:00
Sat 29.11. at 14:15
At the heart of the project lies artist Kristina Norman’s personal process of renovating a Soviet-era sauna in the Estonian countryside with her father, who was a conscript in the Soviet army in 1977/78.
Combining video documentation of the construction process with a retelling of her father’s stories through a live performer, the performance opens up the liminal experience in the Baltic region – both mental and physical – in which the dew point marks a potential moment of poetic transformation.
