Love will tear us apart is a solo for the performer Petra Hrašćanec. The piece itself wanders between a rock-concert, a confession and an abstract dance. The question of the ownership of the performance, which is at first put into an abstract dance frame of dealing with the body and the politics of views, is extremely widened into a broader artistic and social frame. Love from the title is transfereed into the love for dance, for the act of dancing, with breaks in which we find out seemingly insignificant details about how the production was made, thus distangling the subtle net of power hierarchy which defines the act of performing. The viewer is invited to take active responsibility in the hierarchy ladder of a performative act.

I still owe money to the money to the money I owe I never thought about love when I thought about home :: But love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. :: Thought there was love in everything and everyone You're so naive! :: I don't understand How love in silence becomes reprimand :: All these poses oh how can you blame me Life is a game and true love is a trophy
