Performa last night

I was inside an astronaut's body last night. It was cosy and nurturing. We were offered milk shakes. A fashion show followed with characters who arrived from different parts of the body and exited through the - female - astronaut's v. (can't write the whole word, I don't want my blog to be tagged as pornography!) . They seemed to come out of a 60s Soviet futurist film. The costumes were extremely detailed with varying nuances, a Russian bear, a Siberian group, and in the end a Little White Riding Hood who we worried about whether she would find her way. It reminded us how in the 60s people believed in an utopian future where things would be better, where thanks to technology we would be healthy and beautiful and at peace. Who still believes that nowadays? Despite the fact that we are less at a risk of being wiped out by an nuclear exchange between two superpowers? My friend Adrian Saich was one of the performers. In profile in one of the pics. She says that Christian Tomaszewski and Joanna Malinowska were very pleasant and sweet, just like their show. No Avant-Garde Art Prima Donna. Refreshing.
