Lament

Lament Author and performance: Aurora Lubos Music: Alex Catona, Michał Jacaszek For over a year now, we have been watching the most documented genocide in history in the media. Suffering, death, images of human tragedies of Palestinian women and men in the Gaza Strip. Lament became a place for grief over the home, place, disappearing landscapes, life. It's a performance without words becouse I can't find them. It become a single human being lamentation, left with a swirl of anger, powerlessness, helplessness on a small patch of sand. “Life seems to be one eternal, never-ending day. A day filled with dangers and horror scenarios, which often involve the fact that they can blend into each other. Our new collective routine is to listen, to witness, to sit as we walk among death.” Bahzad Al-Akhras, Gaza, Palestine 2024

Aurora Lubos is an independent artist from Gdańsk, associated with the Tricity and British art scene. A performer of the English Vincent Dance Theater for 25 years. Co-founder and member of the Arbuz Association, which works for refugees and people with limited access to education and art. Since 2021, a volunteer actively participating in humanitarian aid on the Polish-Belarusian border. As a result of her meetings with refugees, the artist created two works, Postcards from the Border and Border, devoted to the humanitarian crisis on that border. Her most important works are Nudes, based on the stories of people experiencing domestic violence, Witajcie/Welcome, which was a reaction to the migration crisis in 2015, and From the Water, a performance created as a result of the artist's disagreement with the silent death of people crossing the Mediterranean Sea.
