Let’s skip it, let’s keep it

„Let’s skip it. Let’s keep it. is a relaxed lecture-performance collaboration between Jeanna Kolesova, Victoria Sarangova, Kira Schmyreva. Through fluid sharing they highlight and carefully investigate intersections between personal experiences as well as between historical events. They aim to navigate the traumas, longings, and dreams that transcend generations, leaving imprints on both human and non-human bodies and landscapes.

Two day relaxed workshop “Divergent Dreams” takes place as a part of the lecture-performance. Under regimes and their eugenic aims, lives face constrained aspirations and control even over their dreaming. Dissident human and non-human lives resist and diverge from this control. The participants are invited to share their divergent experiences and how they shape personal and collective dreams, hopes, and memories.„
