In a world where the face is a hive, thoughts are honey, and order is kept by beekeepers, there is no room for chaos. But what happens when a nose starts poking into other people’s business, the tongue refuses to stay behind the teeth, and the right eye turns towards Morocco? Potwarz is an outdoor performance confronting disintegration, sensual anarchy and metamorphosis. Come along – and try not to roll your eyes. You just might discover how to save face.

The Trema Artistic Collective operates within the Antrakt UAP Research Group. Based in Poznań, the collective works at the intersection of performance art, scenography and spatial practices. Their artistic work focuses on creating events and experimental stage forms, with a particular interest in projects developed across different disciplines. Collaboration with both artistic institutions and academic communities forms an important part of the group’s activity. One of Trema’s major projects is Zwierzostan, which premiered during Malta Festival in 2024. The performance was created under the artistic supervision of Krzysztof Cicheński in collaboration with the Asocjacja 2006 Foundation.
