Plaza
Last time in Humboldt Forum,
we gathered in the dark.
People listened.
Some found each other.
Some didn’t.
But something remained.
—
On May 1–2, Plaza returns.
This time, the work shifts slightly.
Not everyone will arrive together.
Some will come alone.
You may be looking for someone who is here.
Or someone far away.
Or someone you can no longer reach.
—
What remains of a relationship
when we cannot reach one another?
—
Participatory performance
2 sessions per day
Registration via Humboldt Forum
Thank you for being part of it.

In the new work The Process of Stones, Li Binyuan collected four pieces of heavy rock along the mountain path, bound them respectively to both of his legs and forearms, and crawled through the castle ruins. Those few hundred metres of expedition construct an arduous moment in which fragility contrasts with permanence, and the ephemeral merges with the enduring.
Take a moment to watch his interview and discover his thoughtful reflections on his performance. ✨✨✨
