Marina Abramović returns to The Liceu Opera House with Balkan Erotic Epic, a daring and provocative performance that fuses Balkan folklore, sensuality, and ritual. This immersive work challenges the boundaries of the body and perception, exploring themes of identity, sexuality, and power. Through a series of performative acts incorporating dance, theatre, music, and multimedia, the piece delves into the emotional and cultural tensions of the Balkans.

Abramović uses the body as a medium to confront social and political norms, presenting eroticism not as mere provocation but as a profound expression of human experience. The minimalist staging and symbolic lighting enhance the visceral atmosphere, inviting the audience to engage with the complex interplay of desire, passion, and violence. This production marks a significant moment in Abramović's career, offering a unique and thought-provoking theatrical experience.
