Stream the Video Recordings from the 2025 Performance Art Festival
Bodies Craving to Believe
Five performances took place during the third edition of the festival, titled Bodies Craving to Believe, which was held on November 7 at Čistírna1906 in Prague and organized by tranzit.cz in collaboration with Petrohradská kolektiv. The documentation captures performances by Aliza Orlan, Dominik Styk and co., Miriama Kardošová, eva susova, and Alex Franz Zehetbauer. The videos can be streamed the Matter of Art website, as well as on the websites of iVysílání ČT art, the online fine arts magazine Artalk, and the Slovak online daily Kapitál.
These performances by artists from across Europe are united by the theme of queer corporeality, and most of them either premiered at the festival or were adapted specifically for the postindustrial spaces of Čistírna1906. The recordings capture a unique and comprehensive collection of contemporary performance art that can no longer be seen together in physical form.
