CultureHub will produce monthly livestreams of La MaMa productions using our new broadcasting tool, the CultureHub Broadcaster. Developed over the past five years by CultureHub in association with creative coders at NYU ITP, our open-source platform is designed to explore hybrid performance as its own medium. The software does not try to mimic what works in a live theater, but instead creatively translates the joy and energy of live performance into an online space.
Purchase a livestream ticket to Things that Burn Easily by Ganz Culture For Change from Zagreb, Croatia. Audience members who tune into the livestream will be able to switch between different camera positions throughout the show.
About:Things That Burn Easily narrates a story of about family living on a modest piece of land affected by a catastrophe. Some of them believe that they have been wronged by irreparable injustice and that a system that will compensate for some of the consequences of it should exist. Others are skeptical and have modeled for themselves a picture of the world in which every other individual is a potential threat, and the only reliable certainty comes from social and societal isolation, and autonomous construction of their own systems of survival and belief. When a big new natural disaster appears on the horizon, the tragedy of it will escalate into an unbearable misunderstanding of these two principles.
Things that Burn Easily is a part of the festival FROM THE OTHER SIDE, which unpacks the phenomenon of Otherness. It addresses the position of women amidst the alarming rise in femicide in the Balkans, the struggles of queer individuals facing institutionalized violence, the consequences of environmental disasters, and persistent national and religious divisions. The showcase presents a society struggling to confront its collective trauma and take responsibility for past crimes, often remaining trapped in narratives of war. It critically examines resistance to the integration and acceptance of minority groups who do not fit into the majority’s ideal of homogeneity. FROM THE OTHER SIDE provides a platform for artists who challenge their social contexts, advocating for freedom in societies that remain closed to Others. Learn more.
