17:00 Doors open

17:30 Performance: Bargaining is a moment of temporary truce when we wonder: If only we could have done things differently, if only we had taken a different path, if only we had been more careful, if only we had been more thoughtful, if only, if only, if only… Maybe, just maybe, things would have turned out differently. We try to avoid this reality and the pain of loss by remaining in the past. The Bargaining ritual first took place in Gent and then Brussels, in September 2020. The ritual of lamenting was entrusted to 3 wailing women: Noy Despoina Grigoriadou, Prisca Agnes Nishimwe, and Renata Turkeš. Each of them interweaved her own personal loss, as well as her own lamenting approach into the ritual.
