It’s obvious: life in the (neo) liberal world is founded on the concepts of political and personal freedom. Or is it? How could we live without these concepts? Under certain circumstances do they actually have nothing to do with individuality, personal rights and private property? A team of artists, theorists and cultural activists working in Serbia and Germany offers no answers to these questions, rather they invite us to a discursive practice in a staged cabinet of political wonders. Here, influential speeches of the 20th and 21st centuries expand the meaning of personal and political freedom. As a counter movement to the general trend of museumisation of choreography, this heterotopia contrasts voices, bodies and images that would have been incompatible elsewhere. Whomever enters is invited to pose undisciplined questions.
