We kicked off “In Between | Në Mes | Dazwischen” at Prishtina Bus Station on Friday 14th of November with “Well for Fountain”, a performance by Valdrin Thaqi and Svenja Schafer, interpreted by Klara Grapci-Gërmizaj and Art Pasha with music composed and interpreted by Viola Rrecaj. The performance took place against the backdrop of passengers rolling their luggage and buying bus tickets, in an “in between” space amidst a static audience and people in transition.
It was followed with a culinary experience by Rebeca Werkmann, that fused Kosovar and German cuisines. These “in between” delicacies epitomize through food the conceptual link between Prishtina and Munich.
While the Prishtina event, organized by StoryLab, was ongoing, the event in Munich organized by dasvinzenz, happened at the same time in the form of a series of performances inside a moving bus (which would symbolically transport the Munich audience to Prishtina).
Both events spread across time and space were brought together by “Interstitial Ghosts”, an interactive digital art installation, by Endrit Jashanica and Futur Studio, where audiences from both Prishtina and Munich could meet and interact with each other in a virtual “in between”-space.
Stay tuned for info and images from the second day of “In Between | Në Mes | Dazwischen”.
Special thanks to Prishtina Bus Station for the exceptional cooperation and support of the public art projects.
