Installation: Balkan Erotic Epic: Performing Group in New York

About Installation: Balkan Erotic Epic

Installation: Balkan Erotic Epic is a group presentation associated with Marina Abramović’s performance and installation practice, framed as a live event at New York City’s Park Avenue Armory. The work draws on Balkan folk ritual and erotic imagery, translating communal gestures into staged actions and repeated physical tasks. In this context, the performers function less as characters than as a collective instrument, holding attention on the body as both symbol and material. The approach favors directness over spectacle, using proximity and duration to shape how the audience looks and listens.
