Experience the raw, unfiltered power of Balkan folklore in a new immersive show from the world’s most revered performance artist Marina Abramović. Her transformative work has reached millions of people – from opening the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival to taking up residence in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Now, she creates one of her most ambitious shows ever here in Manchester.
A four-hour ritual where ancient myth meets performance art, Balkan Erotic Epic explores the eroticism, spirituality and traditions of Abramović’s homeland through 13 visceral scenes. Brought to life by a cast of over 70 performers, dancers, musicians and singers, the experience unfolds across Aviva Studios. Audiences are free to choose their own path – with pop-up encounters punctuating the action, bringing bodies together in dance, song and ritual.
