Iza Szostak
Iza Szostak is a dancer-choreographer. In her practice, she applies the perspective of new materialism as a tool allowing her to perceive matter as an active and instrumental force. Her choreographic works are often based on made-up systems which communicate the body through objects. She is a graduate of the Warsaw Ballet School and the Rotterdam Dance Academy in Holland. She has created the performances: ‘Excavatory Ballet’, ‘National Affairs’, ‘le journal secret’ and ‘Skaj Is the Limit’.

Performance synopsis
Transformation is a transition stage, when the previous system no longer works and the new one has yet to be fully implemented. The social, political and physical body are all being transformed. Iza Szostak has designed a non-normative reality, in which objects choose to exist outside the reproductive time of heteronormativity. The performance queers the transformation archive, validates failure and weakness, taking the viewpoint of fake luxury goods – ever-present, living witnesses to history.
