SUMMARY

In this satire, a famous performance artist faces an unexpected crisis when real-world political matters complicate her latest impeccably provocative and eminently bankable piece.

Storyline

Performance artist Vittoria Hopkins has made a career out of large tableaux vivant of half-naked people, addressing the guilt of the viewer in the face of their vulnerability. Her latest work ‘THE RAFT’ has all the ingredients of a landmark: classical references, naked body painted people lying still on a canvas and an accusatory monologue, written from the perspective of a drowning man in the Mediterranean sea. As the art world gathers to watch Vittoria’s stunning, clean and bankable scandal, an unexpected force takes hold of the installation.

Performance-Künstlerin Vittoria Hopkins hat es zu internationalem Ruhm gebracht. Ihre neueste Arbeit “The Raft” erfüllt alle Voraussetzungen, um zu einem Meilenstein für ihre Karriere zu werden: pointierte Zitate, nackte Körper, die bewegungslos auf einem Floß liegen, und ein anklagender Monolog, geschrieben aus der Perspektive eines ertrinkenden Flüchtlings.
