AUTHORIAL PERFORMANCE: “GLATKA” BY EVA VOSTINIC

Monday, November 3, at 19.30, U10 Art Space

The performance “GLATKA” originates from personal audio and video recordings made by the author during the process of gender transition. Through these fragments of everyday life, the work reveals how social, bureaucratic, medical, and cultural norms shape the experience of transition, creating pressure for the body and identity to conform to a socially acceptable ideal of womanhood – one that can integrate and survive.

This is a story about the systems that define who or what a “real” woman is, about the rules that must be followed for a transition to be accepted, about the boundaries that are set, the expectations that must be met, and the space that remains – if any remains – for authenticity.
