Exploring the Paradox of Cement and Creation: A Performance of destruction

In this thought-provoking performance, we delve into the paradoxical nature of cement through a unique artistic expression. We begin by crafting a sculpture from the ruins of a house, each piece carefully selected to symbolize the strength and permanence typically associated with cement structures.

As the sculpture takes shape, we imbue it with meaning, infusing it with significance and purpose. However, this narrative is destined to be challenged, as we confront the inherent fragility of our creations.

In a powerful culmination, the sculpture is deliberately destroyed, dismantled piece by piece, revealing the transience and impermanence that underlie even the most solid foundations.

This act of destruction serves as a poignant commentary on the futility of human endeavor, highlighting the cyclical nature of creation and destruction. Through this performance, we confront the paradox of cement: a material that promises stability yet ultimately crumbles beneath the weight of time and circumstance.
