Yugo Yoga at the Tolerance Poster Show Trieste

We are pleased to let you know that tomorrow is the last day to visit the distributed exhibition "Crossing the Border, Tolerance." The posters of the Tolerance Poster Show, brought to the city by "Crossing the Border," are on display at the Trieste Covered Market, in Piazza Goldoni and Viale D'Annunzio. An installation of some of these posters is also present in Gorizia, in Corte Bratina, until the end of the month.

The show was organized by Cizerouno Cultural Association as part of the Varcare la Frontiera (Crossing the Border) festival, with the support of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, and in co-organization with the Municipality of Trieste.

Pictured above and below is the work of the Performance Klub Fiskulturnik collective, which debuted in Trieste on January 24th during the 37th edition of the Trieste Film Festival, and has generated great interest and participation after being presented in Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, and the United Kingdom.

"Yugo Yoga" is a participatory performance by Lara Ritosa Roberts and Klaudia Wittman that combines yoga, revolutionary sculptural poses, socialist physical exercise practices, and New Age motivational messages through an ironic and humorous use of public space. As you can see from their performance at the Covered Market, the exercise class is filled by audience members, dancing along behind performer/instructors.
