SIMULTAN FESTIVAL ed. XVI
INSTABLE STATE OF THINGS
11–19 Sept 2021 / MX. Timișoara
EDITION WEBPAGE
Life, as we knew it, is changing radically and will probably settle into a different shape one day, providing a good opportunity to test and develop our resilience to reality.
It is important to realise not only what is happening, but also what the potential of this transformation of the world is in the wake of this crisis. The hardest thing is to tolerate uncertainty and the unknown in a world where we have come to believe that we are in control, but nature shows us otherwise. Learning to tolerate uncertainty and the unknown brings us closer to our human condition, fragile and precarious as it is, and the sign is perhaps to become human again, that is, to allow ourselves to be vulnerable, fragile, dependent on each other.
It is a time to look to the future and imagine what we want our lives to look like from now on.
