Chachacha at the Marineterrein and beyond
Robert Steijn (Netherlands, 1958) and Gluklya / Natalia Pershina-Yakimanskaya (Russia/Netherlands 1969) start their BAU AIR research at the Marineterrein and the surrounding areas, by embracing the legacy of the Situationist International, who practiced ‘derives’ (walks) without pragmatic goals.
Their research consists of walks into talks and aims to unite people from different social groups despite their status. Robert and Gluklya will investigate how these walks can rewild and queer our perception of this part of the city. For this, they'll work with artists, designers, cleaners, people from the military and creative industries, citizens, newcomers and the Ghost of Van Gogh.
Gluklya and Robert will attempt to subvert the society of the spectacle by giving space to embodied experiences that question the relationship between the human and non-human worlds.
Robert Steijn (Netherlands, 1958) is a choreographer, performer, director, dramaturge and writer based in Amsterdam and Mexico City. Together with the Mexican choreographer Ricardo Rubio he runs the School of tender thinking, combining spirituality, art and healing practices, inspired by plant medicine and trance rituals.
Gluklya / Natalia Pershina-Yakimanskaya (Russia/Netherlands 1969) lives and works in Amsterdam. She's considered one of the pioneers of Post Sovjet performance art and co-founded the artist collective Factory of Found Clothes and Chto Delat. She works with performance, installation, text, artivism and video. Her research is revolving around the philosophy of other and possibilities of play within the resistance.
