(OCAT library- day)
5. Per Hüttner – Deja-vu
Per Hüttner’ performance will be realised by a series of young, local actors of similar height and appearance. They will be dressed in identical clothes and will perform the same everyday actions, creating a kind of real déjà-vu.

Neno Belchev – Zebra crossing performance
One of the things that Bulgaria and China have in common is the fact that everyone crosses the street anywhere and at any time. Belchev has produced his own rolled up Zebra crossing which can be unrolled anywhere and that allows its user to cross the street anywhere and at any time.
