2pm - 8pm: “Where is your God now?” Exhibition at Change-Change

The rhetorical question “Where is your God now?” may be rooted in certain passages of the Old Testament, however, despite its Biblical origins, online it is rather used through a series of memes in which the phrase is tagged to an image depicting an odd or extremely challenging situation. Guided by the weight of such a question, this concise association unites works that show manifestations of disturbance, trembling, dissolution, and dismantling either through material operations or conceptual formulations, synesthesia, weirdness, metaphysical thoughts, and political commentaries.

7pm - 8:30pm: Hitler and Hitler English-language performance at FUGA

Hitler and Hitler is a surrealistic farce; it is not a classical biographical performance, but rather a collage of artistic reflections on the book Mein Kampf, filled with rich imagination and vivid fantasy. Berlin- and Budapest-based actors created Hitler and Hitler, a performance that gives insight into a different perspective, and creates a new yet painfully recognizable portrait of the paranoid dictator.
