Winner of the ZKB Acknowledgment Prize 2019- August 2019, Zürcher Theatrespektakel, Switzerland
Theatre Performance, 40min in the evening & Ongoing Installation in the daylight
“Ira Melkonyan & the rubberbodies collective show the effects of non-human behavior and question the assignment of authorship in the theater. This performative installation is an outstanding example of a political work of art. It does not “explain” nature, but invites us to follow the transformation of a leaky landscape and to experience it – with all its risks.” Here is the full Jury speech about the piece.
