Summary of Same but Different – Equinox to Equinox

Same but Different – Equinox to Equinox is a short duration performance festival took place on

Sunday 23 March 2025 from13:00 to 14:00 at the Hof in Dordrecht.

On March 23, 2025 I was one of the performance artists participating in Equinox to Equinox2025 at the Hof square in Dordrecht, the Netherlands. The festival took place between 12 and 1 p.m. and lasted exactly one hour. Everything was based on improvisation, trial and error, and experimentation. During this hour, I did several short performances. The first was a performance in which I created a small site-specific installation with simultaneous movements related to the installation. In the second performance, I moved between the house fronts in the square, sometimes carrying small objects from one place to another. In the third, I used the high windows of one of the buildings, turning my back towards the audience and the square. Facing and touching the window, using my hands and upper body I conducted my performance

Everyone was welcome to participate in openness and solidarity, embracing diversity and acknowledging each other’s individual circumstances, difficulties and conflicts. There is no fixed programme with consecutive performances but everything takes place simultaneously, collaborations can arise spontaneously.

Same but Different – Equinox to Equinox isan international event for public action for freedom for all people. Every year on the Equinox (in March and September), the duration of day and night is roughly equal around the world. In the spirit of cosmic equality, the event is a global connection for people performing together in public space.This sharing of time and space brings us closer together, as a temporary (global) community to encourage, through performance art, non-violent expressions for locally specific conditions.
