The performance by interdisciplinary artist, poet, and filmmaker Hannah Koselj Marušič addresses local housing issues and the (constantly deepening) housing crisis.
Through the lens of children’s play and fragmentary memory, she explores the theme using performance and original poetry. In a familiar, minimalist children’s game, she gradually builds a little house out of chairs, covering them with a sheet. Inside the house, she shares her intensely personal and raw poems with the audience, then invites visitors to join her in cohabiting within the space she built herself, which doubles as a self-initiated safe environment. After the performance, the memory of the dwelling remains as a subtle form of documentation and, together with an audio recording of the poems emanating from its interior, the house becomes part of a (solidary) community. Is there enough room in her little house?
