15.5.15/OFFESTIVAL
Durational performance SOFA is a context specific event. Authors each time develop its context in relation to the political situation and broader event in which it is performed. It uses political, social and artistic themes to develop bittersweet comments.
A single-word politically incorrect dialog is each time ending in a loud laughter. According to Judith Butler the intentional laughter functions as a subversive act in view of inadequate discourses and as a sign of relief.
