- **Event Description**: "SOFTPOWER" rullub lahti nagu värelev film hämaras ruumis.
Kujutis võbeleb. Aeg moondub. Mitte miski ei jää paigale.

Neli keha sisenevad rõhukambrisse. Need kehad pole neutraalsed. Nad on markeeritud ja sotsiaalsed, need kehad mäletavad. Nad kannavad endas arme, harjumusi, ootuseid – ning hakkavad neid lahti harutama.

Rūta Ronja Pakalne lavastus ei ole pehmest jõust.
See on kehas tajutud pehme jõud: ebapüsiv, ohtlik, intiimne.
Püüd eksisteerida tervikuna maailmas, mis nõuab eraldatust.

"SOFTPOWER" unfolds like a slow, unstable film inside a darkened room.
Time stretches. The image flickers. Nothing settles.

Four bodies enter a pressure chamber. These are not neutral bodies. They are marked, social, remembering. They arrive with scars, habits, expectations — and begin to undo them in real time.

Rūta Ronja Pakalne’s performance is not about soft power.
It is soft power lived in the body: unstable, risky, intimate.
A trembling attempt to exist whole in a world that demands division.
