this is my truth, tell me yours (2023)
Although seemingly unrelated, tinnitus and patriarchy become the central themes of this performance, which operates at the intersection of stand-up and a performance lecture. Appearing on stage as a performer for the first time, Žmak explores questions of truth and representation, participation and responsibility, taking us through her own dramaturgical and sexual experiences while asking herself and the audience about the importance and meaning of making art in an age of rampant capitalism.
