Free Spaces

Ina Ivănceanu

Luxembourg, Austria, 2015, 60 Min

Four East European capital cities, four attempts at recapturing public space. Whether in Tbilisi, Yerevan, Chișinău or Kiev, FREE SPACES challenges post-Soviet commerce with civil society revolt.

Amour Fou Luxembourg

Economists refers to the transition of Eastern Europe from communism to a free market economy as a transformation. The artists/citizens featured here attempt to regain their cities from these utopia-free theoreticians with wit and creativity. A cinema is occupied, an abandoned Soviet-era circus is brought back to life and public space is overwhelmed by a chorus of horns, as a series of performances puts the theory of civil revolt into practice.
