Store at room temperature
by: Aleksandar Georgiev & Igor Koruga

Store at room temperature is a co-authorship project that examines the pathetic/ pathos and its presence in society. Therefore, objectives of project are focused on: exploring perception of the pathos in modern society and debugging of its modern and familiar meaning (such is i.e. hyperbolic, outrageous, overdone expression) with search for different/new ones (suffering, illness, passion, warmth, sublime etc.). Authors are interested to observe this dance performance as an intimate place where they can play with process of choreographing everyday and common human states which become pathetic in moments when being honestly represented. Taken out from everyday context and placed in frame of theater, even though perceived as funny, absurd, trivial, vulnerable, boring, personal or illustrative, on human level they
become powerful.
