X Apartments: Košice – Staré mesto

Flats X / X Wohnungen Košice is a theatre performance format by the Berlin theatre producer, Matthias Lilienthal. He has already performed in several cities around the world, for example, in Berlin, Warsaw, Istanbul and now in Košice. Untraditional theatre evenings will take place on four evenings, where every 10 minutes two members of the audience will start their route around several private flats in selected parts of the city. A performance, concert or installation will be waiting for them in each flat. This project, addressing the social reality of Košice and facilitating unexpected discoveries and meetings in private areas with their inhabitants and stories, includes 14 local and international artists.

X Apartments: Košice – Staré mesto
Confrontations in public space are becoming more virulent. Protests gain traction, social tension is on the rise. Tension as a reaction to threat, an emotional roller coaster of strong convictions. The truth of convictions is shored up by shared emotional experience. Anger, loss of hope, feelings of remorse, anxiety; the emotional ties of mutuality.
In February 2019, documenta 15 issued a press release announcing the names of the artistic directors for the next edition of the world’s largest exhibition of art. The announcement included two historical firsts: The exhibition will not be organized by an individual as in the past, but by a collective (and, what is more, an artists’ collective), and this will be the first time since the exhibition’s founding in 1955 that it will be curated by representatives of the Asian continent.
