About
Performance and video company FREAQUENCY is led by writer, director, dramaturge, choreographer, experimental theater and film maker, vegan and activist IRENA ČURIK. We create interdisciplinary avangarde projects that express values of free and open society, while researching on art mechanisms of representation, expression, group dynamics, individual and group psychology, politics of organisation, distribution and transformation, crisis of change, death of author, death of process, adaptation, resistance and limitations of identity and state. Our mission is to wake up to love and solidarity by creating nonconformist art. Revolution can only be nonviolent.
