BIUS is a moving trail, choreographed for a group of dancers. The performers lead the audience through selected parts of public and semi-public spaces. A chain of physical interventions set up very quickly and only existing temporarily, allows the viewer to perceive the same space or place in a new and different way – on the run. Appropriation of city spaces, architecture that exercises power over us and behavioral conventions in public spaces are put forward to discussion….

The project boycots underlying commands and dictations that are poured in concrete, it points them out by breaking them. It is a political statement on residents living in cities that have to fit into given architectonical structures. The project has been performed in more than in 140 cities in the world i.g. NYC, London, Moscow, Vienna, Sao Paolo, Hongkong, Montreal, Macau, Paris, Sydney, Copenhagen, Berlin…

Bodies hanging over edges or niches or over entrance architraves, on landings or park benches. As bizarre body sculptures they open up curious perspectives and give the residents a surprisingly different city experience. The temporary interventions confront with irritating uses of public space. The different locations and the different times of day during which the events take place make each performance an individual event.
