Tenderness

We’ll meet on Friday, September 19, at 9:00 PM at Złota Milonga – the Argentine tango school in Warsaw’s Krasiński Garden – to dance, experience art together, and enjoy the late summer nights.

Evening plan:

• 21:00 start
• 21:15 ACT I Duo Seraphim Jagna Nawrocka & Pau Woźniczka
• 21:45 Katarzyna Korytowska DJ set
• 22:40 ACT II Masquerade Atelier Planeta
• 23:20 Kitty Sarcasm DJ set
• 01:20 ACT III Where Does Our Love Come From? Filip Kijowski

Performances in three acts:

Jagna and Pau are performers, choreographers, and visual artists. They merge fiction with the physical experience of the body, transforming ecofeminist theories into empowering languages of performance. They search for gestures and symbols with healing powers and for scores for rituals of love.

ACT I Duo Seraphim

We saw a great white snail with human breasts. Today we devour the heart of the earth, to feed you thick, white milk. Straight into living mouths. The animal will quench thirst.

Planeta (Yogini Giri) is a nomadic artist and yogini of Ukrainian origin whose practice is rooted in a symbiotic view of the world. She loves mountains, temples, forests, fire, and desert. She runs Atelier Planeta – a project combining sustainable fashion and performance. She co-creates the artistic duo Yevnusha with Indian poet Banu and is a member of the LIOS Labs Community.

ACT II Maskarada Atelier Planeta to improwizacyjny fashion performance.

An improvisational fashion performance. A butterfly, a bird, a wild rhododendron, fire, a little monkey, and goddess Lakshmi will present clothes from Atelier Planeta’s latest collection, as well as a truly unique piece – a dress that had been waiting more than 20 years for its presentation.

Performers: Hypovolaemia, Duo Seraphim, Filip Kijowski, Taras Gembik, Pola Salicka, Natalia Ratyńska, Marcel, Planeta (and perhaps a few more surprises…).

Filip Kijowski (he/him) is a socially engaged artist, performer, activist, and choreographer. Depending on the context, he explores the factors contributing to embodied community. Using queer theories, movement practices, and improvisation, he facilitates group processes through workshops. Founder and initiator of Biblioteka Azyl. Currently studying MA Dance: Participation, Communities, Activism at The Place – London Contemporary Dance School.

ACT III Skąd bierze się nasza miłość?

“In a dream I had recently, the whole world dances the Macarena, and at the same time…” – To close the evening, I want to invite everyone back onto the dancefloor, into our hearts.

DJ sets:

Kitty Sarcasm – a digger since childhood, a DJ by vocation, and recently also a producer. In her sets, she blends many genres of electronic music with a focus on Global Bass – from broken sounds from South America to Ghetto House. Kitty Sarcasm breaks rigid divisions and tests the limits of music purists. As a DJ, she has gained recognition for her unconventional, boundary-breaking selection, appreciated on both the Polish and international scene, including the UK show Keep Hush. She plays in Poland and abroad, and as a touring DJ she has accompanied performances of international rappers such as Aunty Rayzor and Nah Eeto. Currently, she co-creates the underground event series LBC S.A., and previously was a member of the DJ collective BITE.

Katarzyna Korytowska – co-founder of HER Docs and curator of Tenderness.
Occasionally, she plays ultra-danceable music that heats up dancefloors for friends – from Warsaw, across the Błędów Desert, to Berlin and Sicily.
