Same but Different – Equinox to Equinox

Same but Different – Equinox to Equinox is a short duration performance festival taking place on
Sunday 24 March from 13:00 to 14:00 at the Hof in Dordrecht.

Everyone is welcome to participate in openness and solidarity, embracing diversity and acknowledging each other’s individual circumstances, difficulties and conflicts. There is no fixed programme with consecutive performances but everything takes place simultaneously, collaborations can arise spontaneously.

Participants: Marita Bullmann, Fred Vos, August S. Geerlings, Ienke Kastelein, Frans van Lent, ieke Trinks, Yvo van der Vat, Nico Parlevliet, Yvette Teeuwen, Philemon Mukarno, Annie Abrahams, Yelena Myshko, Topp & Dubio.

Same but Different – Equinox to Equinox is an international event for public action for freedom for all people. Every year on the Equinox (in March and September), the duration of day and night is roughly equal around the world. In the spirit of cosmic equality, the event is a global connection for people performing together in public space.
This sharing of time and space brings us closer together, as a temporary (global) community to encourage, through performance art, non-violent expressions for locally specific conditions.

Absent yet present

During the equinox, two artists were absent and yet in a way present. On September 23 at 08.49 local time, at the exact moment op the astronomical equinox, Yvette Teeuwen performed for one hour. She made a chalk drawing on location which, despite the rain after application, was still present and visible during the Equinox event.

Ienke Kastelein placed a white plastic chair on the early morning of the Equinox, which she retrieved in the evening, afterwards. During the day, the chair was used, moved and ended up somewhere else on the square.
Absent yet present.
