Eukharistia 450

Author: David Kareyan

"Eukharistia 450" is a performance that presents an archaic recollection of the social agreement as a dream of a lonely man. The desire for freedom and independence becomes a catastrophe when it does not end in a social contract. Communication ceremonies, reminding us of the necessity of tolerance, are trying to stop the conflicts, which seem endless. Is there a way out of that vicious circle, can art influence reality, or we are doomed to submit to that game by only finding explanations and excuses? I proceed from the conviction that the reformations taking place in art influence society. And if we manage to sublimate the subconscious urges subject to frustration, we avoid the danger of crash/depression, suicide, terrorism /. Such reformism is nothing but a sign of culture. "Eukharistia 450" shows the counteraction of the physical and the mental in the process of an individual's formation.
