Ritual performance by Siergiej Kanarski and Maria Subczynska

​

Water is the most common substance on planet Earth that accompanies us at every moment of life. This mysterious substance navigates the flow of information between all life forms on our planet in constant interaction. The Earth, like us, has its veins and arteries pulsating with water, which care for the cyclicality of nature, the cyclicality of life. We humans also participate in cycles, day and night, seasons, menstrual (women), life and death. The same cycles come in circular circles, building a life spectacle of which we are an inseparable part. Water is the medium through which all nature is navigated, it is like a liquid crystal that has memory. If memory so it refers to the past, like emotions. What is our attitude towards water if it is responsible for most life-building processes? What lies in the depths of modern man's memory, what affects his attitude to water? What emotions accompany the release of respect for water, joy of experiencing it? We invite you to the festival of water, performative celebration, respect for water, ritual tribute to the beautiful substance that is water, in all your three states of aggregation.

 

"we are like fragrant phantoms that inspire respect for water
we encourage people to drink from a dish or dip their hands in water

 leaving a symbolic trace in the texture of the water,

which we will later restore with a new flow into the river through the drumming

and pouring it overboard
it will be a water festival
we will ceremoniously pour it into the river"
