12th Movement: ‘If people could see the inside of my brain, I would go to prison’. Camille Paglia
The time has come. Freedom has arrived. Now we have the opportunity to speak out without fear of judgment. To express our love to anyone who is willing to understand us. Now we can do something good for all those who finally want to freely enjoy their ultimate pleasure. We finally feel equal, even if it’s not safe enough yet. We bravely stand hand in hand with all the 'normal' people. We are now part of a civilized society again and we intend to stay there.
Performed by Anita Wach
We, the perverts is a part of a project 30 Movements, which consists of 30 autonomous performative events executed in various venues in front of an audience.Within 30 Movements Anita pushes the boundaries of imagination and engages mind and body in dialogue with the harsh reality of everyday life and current politics. The range of performative strategies is wide: from intimate, solo appearances, to happenings engaging more people, from purely physical actions to verbal monologues, from abstract forms to interactive initiatives. The collection of raw images, insights, impulses, and actions are also a part of a continuous creative madness of VN Laboratory for performance art, where the author tries and develops ideas. Following the need for democratization of the creative process, Anita takes the role of author, performer but also a curator who occasionally gives the stage to invited artists. She decided to invade the public sphere in order to find a place for weakness, despair, ordinary joy and basic human confusion, to let it move through the horizon of public visibility. Material and motives from 30 Movements will become a foundation for future performance planned for spring 2023.
