Postspectacle at Mall

Overview

The Candidate managed to appear in the AFI Palace Mall Bucharest anniversary program. The PR loved the Candidate's virtuous modern dance fake videos, and that he performs for free, for exposure. Once there, the show was perpetually postponed, a priest was invited to bless the space, an expert that made a comparison between the malls architecture and nazist architecture… Slowly some of the mall staff got angry, although caught in the paradox of the show being officially invited by them. In the end the police came and the Candidate was kicked out. But it was a glorious postspectacle evening anyway. Before the Candidate, little dancers from the National Opera performed ballet variations. Acrobats and famous romanian bands were due to follow the Candidate, and last but not least there was a raffle "with prizes for everyone". (2010)
